I just received a complete info from a friend at Portugal-L.

Manuel, how do I reach from Fernão Iñiguez, top ancestor of the Furtados
de Mendoça in Portugal, second quarter of the 13th century, into the
early Spanish Mendozas? The standard lines do not work, there is a gap,
as you've already pointed out.

Well, Francisco I'm stuck in Salazar y Castro's Historia Genealogica de la
Casa de Lara, but it seems to have some blatant errors. Let's see the lines
he presents:
"Queen Urraca (d.1126) = Pedro Gonzalez de Lara (d.1130)
\
Fernando Perez Furtado = Guiomar Alonso
\
Leonor Hurtado = Diego Lopez de Mendoza
\
1-Lope Diaz
2-Hurtado Diaz (one of the 200 knights of King Alonso X, 1253)
3-Doña Furtada de Mendoza = Ortun Ortiz Calderon
4-Fernan Furtado (who passed to Portugal with the same name of his
grand-father, and he is the progenitor of the whole House of the Mendozas in
that reign)".

Given that this Fernan is grand-son of Fernando Perez Furtado (b.1115-20?),
and has passed to Portugal with the court of Dona Brites in 1245 (?), it
makes me think that the dates are wrong. There is a gap, for sure. Maybe
Leonor was a grand-daughter of Fernando Perez Furtado.
Salazar says that Diego Lopez de Mendoza was Admiral of Castile. He's not
correct. He confuses this Diego with Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (d.1404), the
true Admiral of Castile.
The Mendozas came from the province of Alava to Castile in the reign of
Alfonso XI (1312-1350). The first Mendoza to appear in service of Castile
was Gonzalo Yáñez de Mendoza (m. Aldonza de Ayala), grand-father of the
Admiral.
Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, the Admiral, was married (2) to Leonor de la Vega,
d., gd., ggd.of the Garcilasos de la Vega, and there's an interesting
episode about his son Juan:
The Admiral was away when his son was born, and Leonor had the child
baptized Garcilaso in honor of her glorious ancestors, but the Admiral
changed the boy's name to Juan Hurtado de Mendoza in honor of the Mendoza's
glorious ancestors (in Osuna).

I guess that the story of Fernando Perez Furtado, son of Urraca and count
Pedro Gonzalez of Lara, is correct, and that one of his descendent(s) has
linked to the Mendoza family, is very plausible too, but I'm not entirely
sure how and when it happened.
Chico, we have still a story to be told!

I'm curious because the name Mendonça alterned with Doria in my family
until rather recently, and I can trace it back rather reasonably into the
Portuguese line.

PS: Recall that document mentioned by Salazar that refers to a Fernão
*Iñiguez*. Is there a close Iñigo? (Say, late 12th or early 13th century.)

In the facsimile I have from "Historia Genealogica de la Casa de Lara"
there's no Iñigo. And I have to make a rectification: I said that Salazar
names Don Diego Lopez de Mendoza as Admiral, but I am wrong. He says that
his brother Don Ruy Lopez de Mendoza was "Almirante de Castilla".
Pavel Pokorný has told me about a site (now out of work, it seems) of the
first Mendozas, compiled by José L.G. de Paz from "Historia Genealógica de
la Casa de Mendoza ( Diego G. Coronel), Historia de Guadalajara y sus
Mendoza en los Siglos XV y XVI ( Francisco Layna), De nobleza vieja a
nobleza nueva ( Slavador de Moxó), and others.
Here's what I've got from the site:
The first Mendozas
1. Lope Sanchez de Mendoza, mayordomo mayor der Sancho el Mayor de Navarra
(X c.)
2.Lope Iñigo deMendoza, participated of the conquest of Toledo, 1085
3.Lope Lopez de Mendoza, from the House of Llodio, XII c.
4.Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza, señor de Llodio, XII c.
5.Lope de Mendoza, señor de Llodio, died in the battle of Alarcos (1195).
Son of the anterior
6.Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza, señor de Llodio, son of the anterior ( in the
beginning of XIII c.
7.Gonzalo Lopez de Mendoza, latter's brother and señor de Mendoza
8.Ruy Lopez de Mendoza, Almirante de la Mar in Castile and repartidor of
Sevilla ( Salazar says he was brother of Diego Lopez de Mendoza)
9.Lope Gonzalez de Mendoza, son of Gonzalo, señor de Mendoza, died in Arrato
10.Diego Lopez de Mendoza, grandson of Gonzalo Lopez , señor de Mendoza and
revenger of his father Lope Gonzalez. He was the first named Diego Hurtado
de Mendoza (sic)
11.Maria de Mendoza, heir and granddaughter of Diego, married to her cousin
Juan Hurtado de Mendoza, "el barbudo", señor de Mendivil ( about 1300)
12.Juan Hurtado de Mendoza, "el viejo", ambassador of Alfonso XI in 1339
13.Gonzalo Yañez de Mendoza, 3°? ( tataranieto) grandson of Diego, first
Hurtado de Mendoza (sic). He was the first Mendoza that emmigrated from
Alava to Castile in service of Alfonso XI
14.Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza (1340?-1385), "el de Aljubarrota". Son of
Gonzalo Yañez
15.Juana de Mendoza, daughter of Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza and known as "la
ricahembra de Guadalajara"
16.Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1367-1404), son of Pedro Gonzalez. He was
"Almirante Mayor de Castilla" and father of the Marquis de Santillana
17.Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza y de la Vega (1398-1458), marquis of Santillana

Any chance of being this one? His presumed son was called, if I rightly
recall, Fernão Iñiguez de Mendoza, attested in a 1242 document.

If you put together the lines by Salazar and the other lines of the Mendoza
site in internet, we have an unsolvable confusion of dates. Fernão Iñiguez
de Mendoza (attested in 1242) would be uncle of Don Diego Lopez de Mendoza,
the father of Fernan Furtado who passed to Portugal, apud Salazar, who is
supposed to be the same Fernão (so, off the Furtado line). I don't know
which line is correct, but portuguese genealogists say that the Furtado de
Mendoza line in Portugal has began with the son of Don Diego, Fernão
Furtado.
Do you know where we can find the most ancient quotation of this 1242
document?. What is the actual name on the document? Can we know it?
I feel that something is missing and mixed up. I also read that the name
Iñigo Lopez became very common in the Mendoza family after the battle of
Najera (3 April 1367) when Pedro the Cruel murdered Iñigo Lopez de Orozco
in cold blood after he surrendered on the battlefield. Orozco was uncle of
Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza, father of Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, grandfather
of Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza ( M. Santillana). After this episode (1367)
generations of Mendoza sons would bear the name Iñigo Lopez, says the
author.

Below I give (sorry, in Portuguese, but that's the way I have it on-line)
the earliest Portuguese generations of the Furtados de Mendoça in
Portugal. I got them from Anselmo Braancamp Freire; he refers to Salazar
y Castro for the 1242 document. Has it been transcribed by Salazar? IIRC,
he mentions that in the _Lara_ and in the _Farnese_ books.

Most early Portuguese dates can be documentally established.

Dear Pedro, I'll be very glad if you send it as .pdf. What do you have from
Pedro Barrantes Maldonado on the Hurtado de Mendoza family?

Thanks.

Francisco,
Salazar doesn't mention this document of 1242. The only date on the page is
1253, related to a brother of Fernan Furtado.

A coincidence to be noticed: Salazar says that Fernando Perez Furtado (the
son of Urraca, 1115-20?) was married to D. Guiomar Alonso. The Salazar's
source in 1694 was Salazar de Mendoza.

Dear Pedro,

The de Lara family keeps coming up in this newsgroup from time to time, so I
suppose that several people will be interested and that posting it to the group
would be a good idea. I certainly am - and if you decide not to post it
generally, I should be most grateful for receiving it privately.

Thank you very much, best regards, Evert Dijkema, Amsterdam

My reference is Braancamp Freire. Right now I'm in Rio, so I don't have
it here with me. I now wonder whether they originally had any Mendoza
blood, since the name Furtado de Mendoça is only documented in Portugal
in the late 14th century... Might be a confusion.

I think I now understand where the problem lies: one might have, I wonder:

1. D. Iñigo [some patronymic to be settled] de Mendoza. *Has to be in the
Furtado line*. Probably a son of D. Leonor Hurtada. Son:

2. Fernando Iñiguez de Mendoza, the one in the 1242 document. Son:

3. Fernão Furtado, in 1278 in Portugal. M. Guiomar Resende. Two children:
Rui and Fernando. Rui is the name of two of the admirals of Castille in
the Mendoza line.

I would settle for that line. This would however go against the Moxó
reconstruction (thanks, P. Marin-Guzmán!)
