The municipality of Paredes de Nava (2,096 inhabitants in 2010; 12,898
ha; municipal website) is located in the south of Palencia Province, 10 km from Palencia.
Paredes de Nava might have been Intercatia, a town built the pre-Roman
Vaccaei tribe, of which several stone and bronze artefacts have been
found, including an hospitality pact set up between two inhabitants of
Intercatia and Pallantia (Palencia). Paredes (once Parietes) is a
Basque word meaning "a plain", alluding to remains of old buildings,
maybe belonging to the Vaccaei town. Several villages existed on the
municipal territory; some of them, such as Carejas, with a chapel
build on the remains of an old church, are still there.
After King Alfonso VII had granted them a charter, sometime between 1128
and 1134, the villagers deserted most hamlets and grouped into a
single population nucleus. The town was protected by walls, increased
several times because of the demographic growth; the eventual wall was
oval, with six gates, as can still be seen on the map of the town.
Paredes was divided into eight boroughs, La Fuente, Renedo, San
Miguel, San Juan, Ardagón, Mediano, Calleluenga and Gallegos (settled
by Galicians, gallegos), and an independent Jewish ward (juderia).
Paredes was besieged in 1289 by Regent María de Molina; María Díaz,
the daughter of the Lord of Biscay resisted and was eventually granted
the ownership of the town, which was incorporated to the Kingdom of
Castile in 1326.
In the 15th century, Paredes was ruled by the Manrique de Lara;
Rodrigo Manrique was erected the first Count of Paredes. The
Manrique's palace, incorporated in the town wall, was eventually
ruined and sold in the 18th century, all its stones being used to
build the Castile Canal. Achieved in 1791, the canal allowed grains
produced in Paredes to be shipped to Cantabria, contributing to the
development of the town.
Several noted artists were born in Paredes de Nava.
Jorge Manrique (c. 1440-1479), the fourth son of Count Rodrigo, was
Lord of Belmontejo, Commander of Montizón and Captain of Castile. He
took part in different affairs of the court of Castile, supporting
Infant Alfonso, the son of John II of Castile and brother of Henry IV
and Isabel. During the battles he fought, he always wore on his chest
a bend charged with his motto "Ni mineto ni me arripiento" (I don't
lie neither do I regret); after his father's death in 1476 during the
siege of Uclés, he wrote his famous "Stanzas about the death of his
father" (Coplas a la muerte de su padre). Manrique died at the end
of the Castilian Civil War after having been injured during the siege
of the castle of Garci-Muñoz. The fame of the coplas, highly
estimated by Lope de Vega and Longfellow, made him known as "the son
of Master Rodrigo Manrique", concealing his own personality.
Pedro Berruguete (c. 1450- c. 1504) represents the transition between
the Flemish and Renaissance painting styles in Spain. While keeping a
workshop in his birth village, Berruguete worked in 1477 in Italy at
the court of Federico de Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino, where he was
known as Pietro Spagnolo (Peter the Spanish). In 1482-1483, following
the Duke's death, Berruguete came back to Spain and worked mostly in
Castile; his masterwork, the altarpiece of the Ávila Cathedral was
achieved by Juan de Borgoña. His son, Alonso Berruguete (1486/1489-1561), was a famous sculptor
trained in Italy, one of the three "eagles of the Spanish
Renaissance", together with Diego de Siloé and Bartolomó Ordoñez. Back
to Spain in 1517, Berruguete worked for Charles V in Saragossa and set
up in 1523 his workshop in Valladolid, where he realized his
masterworks, the altarpieces of the Mejorada de Olmedo and of San
Benito el Real, subsequently working in Toledo and Salamanca, too.
Felipe Berrojo (c. 1628-1694) introduced the architectural Baroque
style in Castile. He designed several churches and monasteries in
Valladolid, Medina de Rioseco, Segovia, Villada and Carrión de los
Condes.
Gregoria Matorras del Ser (1728-1813) has remained famous as the
mother of General Jose de San Martín, the Liberator of Argentina. She died the year San Martín won in San Lorenzo the first battle that
would led to the independence of Argentina.
