Marquis of Castelo Rodrigo (Portuguese: Marquês de Castelo Rodrigo) was a title of Portuguese nobility created by Philip II of Portugal (and III of Spain) on 29 January 1600 for Dom Cristóvão de Moura, 1st Count of Castelo Rodrigo.
Moura was rewarded for his service with the title Count of Castelo Rodrigo by Philip I of Portugal (and II of Spain).
His tenure of the office was not well received by the Portuguese and the high taxes he implemented were strongly resented.
The 1st Marquis married Margarita de Corte Real, an heiress who brought the titles and wealth of the Corte-Real family, including governorship of some of the Azores Islands.
[1] As a result of this union the two family names were combined to become Moura e Corte-Real.
