Cervatos, Gudiel de Cervatos
 
Between the late twelfth and fifteenth centuries, the Cervatos family, of Mozarabic origin, held a notable place in Toledan society, although their line eventually came to an end. A record from 1286 provides the first definite mention of the family, naming Gonzalo Alfonso, whose father was Alfonso Pérez and whose grandfather was Servatus. According to another source, an earlier member was Alfonso Muñoz—or Núñez—de Cervatos, the son of the city official Munio Alfonso and grandson of Adefonsus Munio, who passed down the estates of Cervatos and Higueras. Over time, the family established itself as part of Toledo’s civic life, with several members serving in official roles. Their connection to the Monastery of San Clemente was strong, and a number of family members were buried there.
