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 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]

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]
