Image of Maqueda, not of the place itself.

Carlos I created the dukedom in 1530 and granted it to Diego de Cárdenas and to Teresa Enríquez. The family had rebuilt the fortress in the fifteenth century and with the title turned the town into the head of a seigneurial estate on the road to Extremadura.
