don NUÑO Pérez de Lara, son of don PEDRO González de Lara & his wife doña Eva --- (-killed Cuenca 3 Aug 1177, bur Perales, Cistercian Abbey). “Comes Malricus…cum fratribus et sororibus nostris Albar Petriz et Nun Petriz, comitissa domna Elvira, Mari Petriz, Milia Petriz” conferred rights on San Juan de Tardajos by charter dated 31 Jan 1147[1061]. Alférez of Alfonso VII King of Castile Mar 1145 to 4 Feb 1155. "Aldefonsus…tocius Hyspanie imperator…cum uxore mea imperatrice domna Rica et…filiis meis Sanctio et Ferrando regibus" donated property to the abbey of Silos by charter dated 28 Oct 1155, confirmed by "…Nunnus Petriz tenens Montor…"[1062]. Conde 11 Mar 1162. The Annales Compostellani record the capture in 1177 of Cuenca and the death there “III Non Aug” of “Comes Nunius”[1063]. The Anales Toledanos record the death in Jun 1177 of “el Conde D. Nuño”[1064].

m (before 1147) as her first husband, doña TERESA Fernández de Traba, daughter of don FERNANDO de Traba Conde de Trastámara [& his wife doña Sancha González] ([1130/35]-León 7 Feb 1180, bur León, monastery of San Isidoro). According to Barton[1065], doña Teresa was don Fernando's illegitimate daughter by his mistress Queen Teresa of Portugal. This appears to be based only on the early 17th century work by Prudencio de Sandoval which records a donation dated 1131 by “la condesa Loba” to the monastery of San Martín de Joyba which names “comes Fredenandus Petri filius comitis Petri…cum filia mea nata regina dona Tereyxa”[1066]. As noted below, it is likely that Queen Teresa was beyond child-bearing age when she started her relationship with Fernando Pérez de Traba. Another difficulty is the fact that Teresa gave birth to her children by King Fernando in [1178/80]. It is unlikely therefore that she was born earlier than [1130/35]. Queen Teresa, however, died in 1130, by which time she would definitely have been beyond child-bearing age. If this estimated birth date of Teresa is correct, it is likely that she was one of Fernando´s youngest children. Teresa became the mistress of don Fernando II King of León in [1178] and married him as his second wife in Aug 1179.

Nuño & his wife had seven children:

1. don ÁLVARO Núñez de Lara (before 1147-Toro 1219, bur Uclés). Alférez of Alfonso VIII King of Castile 31 Aug 1199 to 12 Sep 1201 and 23 Sep 1208 to 6 May 1217.

Conde 1215. m doña URRACA Díaz de Haro, daughter of don DIEGO López Conde de Haro, Señor Soberano de Vizcaya & his second wife doña Toda Pérez de Azagra. The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of don Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós names “doña Urraca Diaz de Cañas” as a daughter of “Diego Lopez el bueno” and his second wife, and that she married “el conde don Alvaro de Lara”[1067]. The mid-14th Century Nobiliario of don Pedro de Portugal Conde de Barcelós records that “la condesa doña Urraca” married secondly “don Diaz Ximenez señor de los Cameros”[1068], but until further corroboration comes to light it is assumed that there is confusion with her sister Mencía.

Guzmán

De acuerdo al conocido tratadista don Francisco Piferrer, los orígenes del linaje Guzmán resultan un tanto oscuros, lo que se acrecienta cuanto el apellido a estudiar es tanto más antiguo y noble.

Esto lleva, en ocasiones, a una falta de solidez, al verse precisado el investigador a recurrir a meras conjeturas. Viene todo esto a colación, de acuerdo a lo expuesto por el tratadista anteriormente citado, puesto que en este caso se da en los cinco principales solares castellanos, Lara, Haro, Castro, Guzmán y Villamayor, cuyos primitivos progenitores no son fáciles de designar.

Ciñéndonos al linaje de los Guzmán, encontramos que unos pretenden que descienden de los Duques de Bretaña, por medio de un caballero llamado Goodman o Gudman, que significa, en inglés, "buen hombre", el cual fue un ricohombre en el reinado de don Fernando I, y fundó la torre de Guzmán, cerca del lugar de Roa, en el obispado de Osma.

Otros indican que no es así, sino que Guzmán proviene de Flavio Gundemaro, vigesimoprimero rey godo de España, que murió en Toledo, en el año 612, y otros, hacen subir el origen de este linaje a tiempos aún más remotos.

Pero dejando aparte todo lo anterior, que, como acertadamente indica Piferrer no dejan de ser meras conjeturas, habrá que referirse a lo históricamente comprobado: Don Rui Núñez, un ricohombre que vivió en el siglo XII, fue el primero que tomó el apellido Guzmán, por ser el Señor de la referida Torre de Guzmán, cerca de Roa.

Y si bien, algunos de sus ancestros ya tenían el Señorío de esta torre, no habían tomado el nombre, porque ya decimos que hasta finales del siglo XII no se empieza a hablar de él. Don Rui contrajo matrimonio con doña Gozo González de Lara y tuvo por hijos a Alvar, o Alvaro, quien no dejó sucesión, a don Pedro, a través del cual se continuó la varonía de esta casa, y a don Félix, que casó con doña Juana de Aza, y de cuyo matrimonio nació Santo Domingo de Guzmán.

ARMAS:

Escudo flanqueado: Jefe y punta de azur, una caldera de oro jaquelada de gules, con seis cabezas de sierpe en cada asa; flancos de plata, cinco armiños de sable en aspa o sotuer.
