In Spain there´re many familys with the name ESCUDERO, the most importants came from Espinosa de los Monteros (Province of Burgos); Corella (Province of Navarre); Arnedo (province of La Rioja),Palazuelo de Vedija (province of Valladolid); Baena (Province of Córdoba). Many members of this illustrious family proved their nobility at the Orders of Santiago, Calatrava, and St. John of Malta, also at the Real Chancilleria of Valladolid.
