Arrazola

The earliest proof of the name Arrazola that refers to this specific family is a made in court cases before the Royal Audiencia and Chancillería of Valladolid from the early 15th century.

[3] Several members of the Arrazola family held public functions throughout the years in both the local region, as the capitals of Madrid and Valladolid.

The extensive genealogy, and the exercise of public functions made this family a prime example of Hidalgos Solariego: they were considered most noble, were exempted from paying taxes, yet owned little real property.

[4] Through the functions held by a couple of Arrazolas in the Spanish national government, other family members gained preferential access to attractive positions.

This resulted in a number of branches being established throughout the world, notably the regions that once were under Spanish influence: Colombia, Mexico and Belgium.
