Bernaldo de Quirós
 
 
A number of traditions exist to explain the origins of the Bernaldo (or Bernaldo) de Quirós family, including claims of descent from the Emperors of Constantinople, the ancient Dukes of Cantabria and the Spanish hero Bernaldo del Carpio. Modern genealogies have claimed that the Quirós family sprang from the de Caso family, relying on a mixture of traditions, documents and privileges that are not relevant to them as evidence. However, it is argued that the family's first verifiable ancestor was Count Bernaldo Jiménez. The family motto 'After God, the House of Quirós', was to have emerged in the 15th century when the family's wealth was only surpassed by the House of God, that being the Bishop of Oviedo.
 
One of the versions of the de Caso family line claimed to be the precursor of the Quirós family:
