Notes

  1. ^ Earlier writers on the name had suggested it was of more ancient, Gothic origin. Alberto and Arturo García Carraffa in their Enciclopedia heráldica y genealógica hispano-americana (1919) believed the name to be Germanic from "good man", while Julio de Atienza, in Nobiliario español: Diccionario heráldico de apellidos españoles y de títulos nobiliarios (1949), suggested that the Guzmans came from Germany and settled in Burgos in 950, and the name is a corruption of Gudemaro, the Spanish form of the name of a gothic king. [2] An earlier form of this legend, dismissively related by Fernán Pérez de Guzmán in his 15th century Generaciones y Semblanzas, derived the family from Gudeman, brother of a Duke of Brittany who came to Iberia to participate in the Reconquest and there married the descendant of a Count Ramiro who was husband or lover of a daughter of a King of León, but which was entirely "undocumented, save for the memories of men".
