Patrimonio urbano y heráldica gentilicia de la hidalguía albacetense a través de los Cantos Barnuevo y los Carrasco

Abstract

Reconstructing the history of El Rosario inn, before it was lodging, has brought us to its true owners: The Pando Barnuevo family, nobles in whose union converge several branches of the most ancient local nobility: Los Cantos, from Albacete, and Barnuevo or Barrionuevo from Chinchilla. Investigating notarial protocols we have discovered other main houses of the family such as the one known as the Marquis of Montortal house that disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century and that presented a beautiful quartered shield, whose fields have been known almost entirely thanks to the military orders archives.
