Coat of arms of the House of de la Vega

Garci Lasso de la Vega I, also known as "el Viejo" (d. 1328,Шаблон:Sfn Soria) was a Spanish noble in the service of King Alfonso XI of Castile. He was the chancellor of the Kingdom of Castile, an adelantado of the king. He later became the chief justice of the king and gained vast properties in Asturias de Santillana and feudal land tenures and vassal towns in more than fifteen areas throughout Castile. He went to Soria in 1328 to recruit allies against infante Don Juan Manuel who had been consistently violating the king's territories. The Spanish nobles of Soria assaulted him with crossbows, driving de la Vega to seek cover at the Convent of San Francisco where he was eventually killed. Alfonso XI punished all those responsible, ordering their execution.

Possible ancestry

According to Luis de Salazar y Castro, the origin of the "de la Vega" lineage could be Diego Gómez, son of count Gómez González de Manzanedo and countess Milia Pérez de Lara. Roy Díaz de la Vega, a son of Diego Gómez, sold a property in Valdeguña in 1229 declaring that he was the son of Diego Gómez.Шаблон:Sfn Nevertheless, the medievalist Carlos Estepa Díez believes that there were other contemporary members of this lineage who used the toponymic "de la Vega" and there is no sufficient evidence that this was a branch of the Manzanedo family even though both families intermarried.Шаблон:Sfn

The first one to add "Lasso", most likely derived from medieval Castilian, meaning "tired" or "fatigued", to the toponymic was Pedro Lasso de la Vega, appointed admiral by Alfonso X of Castile in 1278.Шаблон:Sfn
