The House of Maroto (Casa de Maroto) is a Spanish aristocratic family.

History

[edit]

The House of Maroto was founded in the 18th century by Rafael Maroto, Count of Casa Maroto, and Viscount of Elgueta. As a Spanish general, he served in the South American Wars of Indipendence and the First Carlist War. He was an important Carlist figure and signed the Convention of Vergara. He had seven children with his wife Antonia Cortés García, a Chilean.

Rafael Maroto's eldest son, Ramón Maroto y González y Herrera, was lieutenant of the Spanish regiment. He married María Francisca Villalonga y Ferrandell, 2nd Marchioness of Casa Ferrandell.[2] In 1917, King Alfonso XIII rehabilitated the Marquisate of Casa Ferrandell in favor of Fernando González Valerio y González Maroto, who died the richest man in the province of Coruña.[3] The title has since been passed down, and is presently held by Natalia Maroto de Mesa, 8th Marchioness of Casa Ferrandell.

In 1891, King Alfonso XIII granted the Marquisate of Santo Domingo to Juan Maroto y Polo, who married Lorenza Pérez del Pulgar y Fernández de Villavicencio, 7th Marchioness of Pozoblanco. Of their children, Francisco Maroto y Pérez del Pulgar inherited the Marquisate of Santo Domingo and Juan Maroto y Pérez del Pulgar inherited the Marquisate of Pozoblanco. Both titles were subsequently inherited by Agustina Maroto y von Nagel, daughter of Fransisco Maroto y Perez del Pulgar. Agustina also inherited the Marquisate of Salar, Countship of Clavijo, Countship of Belmonte de Tajo, and Countship of Maseguilla from her Aunt, María Teresa Pérez del Pulgar y de Muguiro.

During the 19th century, members of the family maintained a presence in the Captaincy General of Cuba. Francisco Ponce de León y Maroto, Count of Casa Ponce de León y Maroto, and Antonio Ponce de León y Maroto, Marquis of Aguas Claras were notable members of this branch. [4]
