Ceballos

Italiano  English  Portugûes  Deutsch

The last name A. is one of the most illustrious and qualified in Spain. The most prestigious and authoritative genealogists unanimously affirm that it comes from the Ceballos or Zeballos lineage, which had its solar house in the Buelna valley, in the Asturias of Santillana. Rodrigo de Ceballos, Lord of that house, was the father of Martín Ruiz de Ceballos, and he had as his son and successor Fernán Martínez de Ceballos, a very courageous Captain, who served the King Don Alfonso IX and was the founder of the surname that concerns us . This knight won the Moors the town of Alarcón, in the province of Cuenca and distant about ten leagues from this city, in 1176, being the first to climb the almost impregnable fortress of the said town, from which he was named Warden Don Alfonso IX, also authorizing him to take the name of the town by surname, and granting him new weapons. By virtue of all this, the aforementioned Fernán Martínez de Ceballos suppressed this last surname and began to call himself Fernán Martínez de A., a surname that his descendants continued to carry. He is buried in the old church of San Juan, in the aforementioned town of A., inside a fence, in the middle of the main chapel, where his flag is seen. He and his successors were for some time Wardens of the fortress of A. and they carried all the royal rents that belonged to the King, and from which Don Alfonso IX had also made mercy, confirmed by his successor Monarchs.
