Miranda
 
 
Originating in the western Asturian mountains of Teverga, the House of Miranda gradually extended its presence into neighbouring councils and towards the centre of the region. Its rise was facilitated by a range of socio-economic strategies employed throughout the Early Modern period, most notably advantageous marriage alliances with prominent Asturian families from the same or neighbouring councils. By marrying within the same social and geographical circles, the family was able to increase its wealth substantially.
