The Asturian Q. family had an old plot half a league from the city of Oviedo, in the place called Cagigal and owned many assets in the Siero Council and in the Bobes place (from the Siero council), where they lived. In the middle of the 14th century, Orosia Álvarez de Q. was the Lady of said plot, who married Luis Álvarez de Quirós, a descendant of the noble and old Asturian house of Quirós, and they procreated Alonso Q., who used the maternal surname first. . This gentleman served Don Enrique IV of Castile and the Catholic Monarchs, of whom he was the Chief Accountant. Nebrija ponders this in his History. The Holy Brotherhood was instituted on the advice of said Don Alonso and contributed to the departure of Columbus to the discovery of America with the effort that he put into persuading the Monarchs and higher figures of the Courts of success that such an undertaking would achieve. This is how Marino Siculus and other authors refer. It also influenced to establish the Triunal of the Inquisition. He married Doña Aña or Aldara de Ludeña. Don Alonso de Q. was buried with his wife and parents in the Santa Clara Convent in the city of Oviedo.
