Family history Duque de Regla
The Dukes of Regla – From Mexico to the Spanish Grandeur
The Regla family grew out of the Mexican family Romero de Terreros. Their ancestor Pedro Romero de Terreros explored the silver veins of Real del Monte in the 18th century. King Charles III elevated him to the rank of Count of Santa María de Regla in 1768. With mines and the founding of Monte de Piedad, he left his descendants with influence and a social legacy.
Through Pedro Ramón, the second Count, title and possessions passed to Pedro José María. This third Count witnessed the transition from the Viceroyalty to independent Mexico. His son Juan Nepomuceno Romero de Terreros y Villamil, born in Mexico City in 1818, united several titles. He was a Knight of the Santiago Order, a member of the Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla, and fourth Count of Regla.
In 1859, Queen Isabella II granted Juan Nepomuceno the title of Duque de Regla and the title of Grandeza de España. The new duke thus linked a family history rooted in New Spain with the highest rank of Spanish nobility. Since he died without children in 1862, his niece María del Refugio Romero de Terreros y Goríbar succeeded him. Her marriage to Eduardo Rincón-Gallardo y Rosso brought together two important Mexican families.
Her son Carlos Rincón-Gallardo y Romero de Terreros became the third Duke. After that, the title passed to his daughter María de la Concepción Rincón-Gallardo y Cortina and through her to the Fernández del Valle family. Justo Fernández del Valle y Rincón-Gallardo received the royal succession certificate in 1981; in 1996, his son Justo Fernández del Valle y Cervantes became the sixth Duke.
Thus, the family spans an unusual spectrum, from the silver mines of Hidalgos to Mexico’s traditional houses and to the Spanish Grandeza.
