The arms of the Sandoval lineage are "Or a bend sable".
The medievalist Friar Justo Pérez de Urbel (1895-1979) stated, after the
study of Arab documents from the Reconquest period, that the origin of
the Sadoval lineage is obscure (Historia del Condado de Castilla,
1945. The historian Father Gonzalo Martínez Díez (1924-2015) wrote that
the Sandoval descended from Count Fernán González (c. 910-970), who
married one the sons he had with his second wife, Urraca, with one the
daughters of his alférez, Gómez Díaz (El Condado de Castilla
(711–1038): la historia frente a la leyenda, 2005). Cirilo García Pérez does not believe that the Sandoval are Fernán González' direct offspring.
Chronicles mention his brother, Gonzalo Téllez, who married Flámula, aka
Lambra) and got two children, Salvador and Ramiro González; Salvador
named his lineage for the village of Sandoval de la Reina (Province of
Burgos), where he owned a domain.
[Apellido Sandoval]
The arms of the la Cerda lineage are "Quarterly, 1. and 4. Per pale , 1.
Gules a castle or masoned sable port and windows azure, 2. Argent a lion
purpure crowned or, 2. and 3., Azure three fleurs-de-lis or".
The la Cerda lineage was founded by Infante Ferdinand de la Cerda
(1255-1275), the elder son of King of Castile Alfonso X the Wise
(1221-1284). His elder son, Alfonso de la Cerda (1270-1333) was
proclaimed in 1288 King of Castile and León by Alfonso III of Aragón,
but he never reigned and had to resign all his claims in 1304. His
grandson, Charles de la Cerda (1327-1354), Count of Angoulême and
Constable of France (1350-1354) was murdered by Charles of Navarre.
Isabel de la Cerda y Pérez de Guzmán (1329-1389) married in 1370 Bernal
de Foix, 1st Count of Medinaceli. Their descendants were Counts, then
Duke of Medinaceli until the death without male heirs of Luis Francisco
de la Cerda y Aragón (1660-1711), 9th Duke of Medinaceli.
The arms of de la Cerda reflects the origin of the lineage, Castilian-Leonese via Alfonso de la Cerda and French via his wife, Blanche of France (1253-1323), a daughter of King Louis IX (St. Louis).
