History
The Secretary of State of Philip IV, Don Pedro Coloma and Escolano, bought for himself and his successors the territories that included the uninhabited portion of Canales and Regachuelo, with the villages of Chozas and Yunclillos. Already with the title of marquis, he was granted the status of viscount of Chozas de Canales, in 1680. With these and other inherited lands, or foreclosed mortgages when he did not have them by inheritance, he ended up with the "cabildo de racioneros beneficiados y curas" of Santa Maria, the village of Navarrete, in the Rioja, and the bishopric of Calahorra and La Calzada. But by 1770, the family had no heirs, and the lands reverted to the cabildo. At the end of the 18th century the marquesal palace was restored.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
