Señor Del Castillo De Carpio
The Lordship del Castillo del Carpio (Sp: Señorio del Castillo de Carpio or the Señorio del Carpio) was a Spanish title of nobility established in 1325 by García Méndez de Sotomayor. The title lends its name to the House of Carpio. History The lands consisting of the Señorio del Castillo de Carpio were conquered by King Ferdinand III of Castile in 1240 as a part of the larger Reconquista. Part of the lands conquered in Ferdinand III's Alcocer (Al-Qusayr) campaign were granted to one of the families that assisted in the campaign, namely the Meléndez or the House of Méndez de Sotomayor. By 1325, Garcia Méndez de Sotomayor managed to unite the lands granted to his family and built a tower at El Carpio to be used as the center of government for his lands. The tower was completed in 1325 which is also the date associated with the founding of the Señorio del Castillo de Carpio. In 1559, the title was upgraded to the Marquesado del Carpio in 1559 by King Philip II of Sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Margarita Cabrera Sánchez
A margarita is a cocktail consisting of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Some margarita recipes include simple syrup as well and are often served with salt on the rim of the glass. Margaritas can be served either shaken with ice (on the rocks), without ice (straight up), or blended with ice (frozen margarita). Most bars serve margaritas in a stepped-diameter variant of a cocktail glass or champagne coupe called a margarita glass. The margarita is one of the world's most popular cocktails and the most popular tequila-based cocktail. Origin The history of the margarita is shrouded in mystery and folklore due to its numerous origin stories. According to cocktail historian David Wondrich, the margarita is related to the brandy daisy (''margarita'' is Spanish for "daisy"), remade with tequila instead of brandy. (Daisies are a family of cocktails that include a base spirit, liqueur, and citrus. A sidecar and gin daisy are other related drinks.) There is an account from 1936 of Iow ...

Diego Lopez De Haro Y Sotomayor
Diego is a Spanish masculine given name. The Portuguese equivalent is Diogo. The etymology of Diego is disputed, with two major origin hypotheses: ''Tiago'' and ''Didacus''. The name also has several patronymic derivations, listed below. Etymology ''Tiago'' hypothesis Diego has long been interpreted as variant of ''Tiago'' (also spelled as '' Thiago''), an abbreviation of ''Santiago'', from the older ''Sant Yago'' "Saint Jacob", in English known as Saint James or as ''San-Tiago'' (cf. ''San Diego''). This has been the standard interpretation of the name since at least the 19th century, as it was reported by Robert Southey in 1808 and by Apolinar Rato y Hevia (1891). The suggestion that this identification may be a folk etymology, i.e. that ''Diego'' (and ''Didacus''; see below) may be of another origin and only later identified with ''Jacobo'', is made by Buchholtz (1894), though this possibility is judged as improbable by the author.
