Biography
Origins and Career
According to Francisco Piferrer, 19th Century historian, the cradle for the first Nobles and Knights with Reyes surname was Galician. The Noble with the most viable and consistent data begins with Gomez de Reyes, in the year 611 A.D., Lord of the house and Castle de Bocirios in Chantada, Lugo, Kingdom of Galicia (second Reyes Solar; original Reyes Solar was founded by Lord and Captain of Armored Knights Don Luis García Reyes in Province of Burgos, Kingdom of the Visigoths).[1]
Given these facts, Lord Gomez more than likely descended from Don Luis García Reyes, Lord of Solar de Reyes (born circa 510 A.D., Province of Burgos, Kingdom of the Visigoths), who was a descendant of Claudio Clemente de Reyes, Dux and progenitor of the Reyes surname (fl. 230 A.D., Roman Empire).[2]
Descendants
Only the following child was found in historical documents. Unfortunately, the name of his wife is unknown.
- García de Reyes was born circa 625 in Chantada, Lugo, Kingdom of Galicia, and was Lord of the new Manor house he founded (third Reyes Solar – Casa de Altamira) in an eminent hill called “Altamira” near Noya (La Coruña) and had a son or grandson named Gonzalo de Reyes, one of the renowned soldiers who served under Don Pelayo (early 8th Century King of Asturias) in his heroic endeavor against the Moors.[3]
Towards the end of the 8th Century the well-known Nuño de Reyes is shown. Nuño served under the reign of Alfonso II "the Chaste" (late 8th Century King of Asturias) and was one of the twelve Knights of high blood chosen to form a brotherhood that, over time, became the Military Order of Santiago.[4]
The descendants of this ancient and illustrious family are later found elsewhere in Galicia, Murcia, both Castillas, León and Andalucia (as a result of wars and the Moorish conquest), and later, during the discovery of the new world, in America. Within the illustrious family of descendants is found Payo de Reyes, a nobleman, one of the 87 descendants from the Kingdom of Murcia; Don Martin de Reyes, Knight of the Order of Calatrava, Noble Master of the castle de Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and Chief Magistrate of the city of Antequera, Málaga; Don Bernardino de Reyes, alderman of the city of Málaga (Spanish city located in Province of Málaga) who served King Don Felipe II (16th Century King of Spain) gloriously in the last Morisco uprisings in the Kingdom of Granada; Matias de Reyes (in the early 1700s) who was from Nerja, Province of Málaga; Gaspar de los Reyes (born circa 1675 in Écija, Seville, Andalucia) whose grandson Captain Andres de los Reyes y Torres proved his nobility in the Orders of Santiago in 1765; Don Pedro de Reyes, Canon to Holy Cathedral Church of Trujillo, in the Indies, and Apostolic Commissioner and Subdelegate to Holy Crusade; Don Gregorio de Reyes, conquistador of the New Kingdom of Granada (16th Century Spanish colonial provinces in northern South America), and his first cousin Don Benito de Aguilar y Reyes; Baltazar de los Reyes (born circa 1540 in Écija, Seville, Andalucia) who was one of the first Reyes to migrate to La Ciudad de México in New Spain; Captain Gaspar de los Reyes Quintero (born circa 1610 in Chozas de Canales, Province of Toledo) who migrated to Peru; Gaspar de los Reyes (born in 1644 in Portugal) who migrated to Chile.[1][5][6][7][8]
Alonso de Santa Cruz (16th Century Spanish cartographer and historian) states that the Reyes lineage was also established in France, and Italy, with a branch in Naples, the Counts of Machia, and another one in Milan, from which Don Antonio de Reyes descended, a Knight of the Order of Santiago, who served as Captain of the fast horses in “el Piamonte”, which is described by Diego de la Mota (16th Century Canon Friar from the Convent of the Order of Santiago in Uclés) in his work “Catalogo de los caballeros de dicha orden”.[9][10]
