Description
The House of Luna was one of the most influential noble families in medieval Aragón. Their origins date back to the 12th century, and they played a significant role in the political and military landscape of the Kingdom of Aragón. The family was known both for their influence on Spanish politics and for their close ties to the Church.
One of the most prominent figures of the family was **Álvaro de Luna**, a powerful nobleman who wielded great influence in the 15th century under King John II of Castile as his advisor and favorite. Álvaro de Luna was at times the most powerful political force in Castile and played a key role in stabilizing the monarchy. He held numerous offices and was effectively the regent of the kingdom. However, despite his great power, he eventually fell out of favor and was executed in 1453, marking a turning point for the family.
The House of Luna was connected through strategic marriages with other prominent noble families, including the House of Urrea and the House of Aragón. These alliances strengthened their position within the nobility and allowed them to maintain significant influence over generations. Their power extended not only to Aragón but also to Castile and other regions of Spain.
