Ampudia
Origins and early memory
Ampudia is where the earliest named line becomes legible as more than a surname. It anchors the medieval chapter and the idea of lordship.
Lineage page
Herrera Lineage
The Herrera Lineage page translates the House of Herrera dynasty sequence into an editorially readable lineage map. It treats the published dynasty as a backbone, identifies where estate and place memory deepen the line, and shows how the later Caracas-linked bridge should be read without pretending that the public page is already a complete scholarly genealogy.
Method note
This is a published sequence read as lineage, not a notarized family tree
The House of Herrera dynasty page supplies a long run of names and date frames. The portal treats that as an ordered lineage backbone and then uses estate and bridge pages to make the later chapters more concrete.
The strength of the Herrera record is duration. The source domain explicitly frames the family as a patrimony of Spanish nobility that became prominent in the 14th century and then supplies a sequence of named figures stretching across centuries. That is exactly the kind of material a reference portal should organize.
The limit of the public record is that the dynasty page is a sequence page, not a documentary register. For that reason, this lineage page does two things at once: it preserves the order of the published sequence, and it marks where estate, heraldic, or modern bridge material is needed to make the line understandable for a reader arriving from search.
Published backbone
The current public sequence from the House of Herrera site
This table preserves the order of the live dynasty page and explains how the portal uses each name.
| Published figure | Date frame on source page | Portal reading |
|---|---|---|
| Hernán de Herrera, Lord of Ampudia I | Circa 1355 | Earliest named anchor and the best starting point for Ampudia-linked lineage memory. |
| Pedro García de Herrera y Rojas | 1390–1455 | One of the clearest early figures; the short profile describes him as a Castilian nobleman and Marshal of Castile. |
| Diego García de Herrera y Ayala | c. 1417–1485 | Keeps the sequence moving into the next generation and connects the Herrera line to the Canary Islands turn. |
| Agustín de Herrera y Rojas Ayala | House page says 1569–1632; title record 1567 / 1584 | Best read through the Lanzarote title chronology rather than as a settled life frame. |
| Juan Sarmiento de Herrera y Fernández Pacheco | 1607–1664 | Maintains the ordered sequence into the seventeenth century, with a visible source spelling variant. |
| Agustín Nicolás de Herrera y Loaisa | 1633–1695 | Part of the later early-modern continuity sequence. |
| Francisco Carlos Herrera y Ascanio | 1671–1730 | Extends the family story toward the eighteenth century. |
| Juan Manuel de Herrera y Misones | 1712–1767 | Another continuity anchor in the long-duration sequence. |
| Martín Eugenio de Herrera y Rada | 1754–1810 | Transitions the line into the modern era. |
| Mariano José Herrera y Rodríguez del Toro Ibarra | Circa 1789 | Begins to pull the sequence closer to the Atlantic and Latin American frame readers care about today. |
| José de Herrera y Irogoyen | Circa 1813 | One of the latest names on the current public dynasty page before the portal must rely more heavily on bridge figures and places. |
Places that clarify the line
The Herrera lineage is strongest when it is read with its places
Place gives the long name sequence physical meaning and helps search-led readers understand why the line matters.
Lanzarote
Distinctions and island memory
Agustín de Herrera y Rojas Ayala and the distinctions page make Lanzarote central to the early-modern identity layer.
Germany
Uslar and Gleichen branch memory
The new Uslar and Gleichen pages make the German branch layer legible through Freudenthal, the Drei Gleichen landscape, heraldry, and the compound surname.
Modern bridge logic
Why José Herrera Von Uslar matters to the lineage page
The public House of Herrera dynasty page stops earlier than the modern cross-family record. The portal therefore uses modern bridge figures to connect the older line to the twentieth-century Caracas chapter.
José Herrera Von Uslar Gleichenis one of the most important currently live bridge figures on the Herrera side. His short source-domain profile adds twentieth-century public life and humanitarian action. Banvelca's Clementina page then makes him even more important by identifying his 1932 marriage to Clementina Velutini Pérez-Matos as the bridge between the two family narratives.
That does not mean the portal simply pastes the modern marriage onto the medieval sequence. Instead, it uses the older dynasty page for long-duration lineage, then uses modern bridge figures and place pages to explain how the Herrera story remains relevant in the later Caracas-connected chapter.
