6) Other information
* Aguero Castle, currently rebuilt after a long and patient restoration work, really is a large Gothic
house with cylindrical cubes at the comers. The small bays indicate that it was a defensive fortress.
There are many legends about this Trasmeran lineage. The best known, probably with part of truth and
part of fantasy as all the legends, is the one that tells that Trasmiera is noble, because the King
promised to one of the Agliera, like prize to its services, that would make nobles all the Lerritories that
He could ride with his horse from dawn to sunset. In this way he left from his plot, Aguero, and arrived
at Pamanes where the horse was exhausted. The neighbors of the area, not to be left out, Dragged the
horse to the cross of Somarriba. The continuity of the line of the Agliero is evident in its house existing
in the town, next to the church, and in front of the castle, It is a work of the XVII century, with portico,
of three arches, balconies of wrought iron and ashlar masonry on the facade which is decorated with
the family crest supported by eagle and with the legend: "If you seek me nobility / arms and blazons /
No Look at me the cantons, look at me nature. * The famous flag wars that ravaged Cantabria in the
Middle Ages confronted numerous noble lineages of our land that fought together on two sides, the
Giles and the Negretes, The head of the side of the Negretes was the lineage of Aguero, as proof of
the importance of this strain. We conclude with the parish church of Agiiero, the oldest in the
municipality. It was built at the end of the 16th century, next to the house of Agiiero. The remains of
the knight Pedro Gonzélez de Agtiero were buried in this church until his later transfer to the Diocesan
Museum.
* Pedro Gonzalez de Aguero que destacé a la cabeza de sus hombres de guerra de Trasmiera en la
batalla del Salado contra los benimerines en 1340. El Memorial histéricojuridico de la Biblioteca
Municipal de Santander dice al respecto: "por haberse sejtalado Pedro Gonzdlez Agiiero que veniajunto a la persona real y por cabo de los soldados montafieses con el sefior de la Vega (que era su
primo) le hizo merced el rey de libertar a Trasmiera, su patria, de la contribucién de alcabalas, de cuyo
privilegio ha gozado, mostrandose sus hijos tan agradecidos que on momoria de este benoficio
ordenaron que en las iglesias parroquiales se echase rogativa por su anima en las mismas populares”.
Esto tuvo lugar en 1342 cuando las cortes castellanas autorzaron al Rey a cobrar durante tres afios el
impuesto de la alcabala . E! Rey, agradecido, dejé libre del impuesto a toda la Trasmiera del Sefior del
lugar de Agiiero, Ancos, Hoz y de parte de Barcena de Cicero, Hermosa y Liérganes; sefior de
behetria de Anero, Carasa, Castanedo, Entrambasaguas, Galizano, Giiemes, Helechas, Hoz, Latas
(incluide Somo y Loredo), Navajeda, Orejo, Pontones, Secadura y Suesa, asi como sefior de la parte
de behetria de otros lugares de Trasmiera y tenia naturaleza en Ballesteros (Beranga) y Cariazo.
