Rodrigo Gutiérrez Girón

Rodrigo Gutiérrez Girón (died 1193) was a magnate and ''ricohombre'' from Palencia who played a key role in the Medieval history of the Iberian Peninsula. He was the first one of his lineage to add ''Girón'' to his patronymic. Owner of vast holdings and estates, Rodrigo and his relatives formed one of the most powerful clans in Tierra de Campos since the time of the Banu Gómez. Provided by Wikipedia
