County Of Trastámara
The County of Trastámara (Spanish ''Condado de Trastámara'') was a tenancy of the crown in the Kingdom of Galicia in the Middle Ages.

It was regularly granted to men of a single family, the House of Traba from the 11th century into the 13th, after which it was often given for life to others, including Alvar Núñez Osorio and the future King Henry II of Castile, whose dynasty is thus known as the House of Trastámara. On 4February 1445 in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, it was granted as a hereditary possession to Pedro Álvarez Osorio by Juan II of Castile.
