==Origins==
'''Valladares''' (or '''Valadares''' in Portuguese and Galician), has its origins in the ancient land of Valadares situated next to [[Melgaço, Portugal|Melgaço]],{{sfn|Sottomayor Pizarro|1997|p=783, vol. II}} the northernmost municipality in [[Portugal]] on the south bank of the [[Minho River]] which separates Portugal and [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]]. One of the earliest Valadares recorded was the nobleman Soeiro Aires de Valadares, son of Arias Núñez de Valadares and Ximena Núñez, both from Galicia.{{sfn|Sottomayor Pizarro|1997|p=786 vol. II}} Soeiro was a member of the ''[[curia regis]]'' of King [[Alfonso I of Portugal|Alfonso Henriques]] and appears confirming royal charters from 1169 to 1179.{{sfn|Sottomayor Pizarro|1997|p=783 vol. II}} Because of the proximity of northern Portugal and Galicia, the early Valadares can be found on both sides of the border. Soeiro's first wife was Elvira Nunes Velho. He later married Maria Alfonso, an illegitimate daughter of King [[Alfonso IX of León]] and his mistress Teresa Gil de Soverosa who had first married Álvaro Fernández de Lara, was later the [[concubine]] of her nephew King [[Alfonso X of Castile]] and then married as her second husband Suero Arias de Valladares.{{sfn|Calderón Medina|2011|p=276}} {{sfn|Sottomayor Pizarro|1997|p=787, vol. II}}

Also a member of this family was Aldonça Lourenço de Valadares, the mother of [[Ines de Castro]].{{sfn|Sottomayor Pizarro|1997|p=235, vol. I}}

The Valladares family are of Spaniards and Portuguess ancestry, and are very popular in Central America specifically in Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico and in Brazil as well (although the surname as valadares in Portuguese). Here are some of their origins from Europe; The Valladares family originated in the ancient kingdom of Spain in the northwestern province of Galicia, and the north most municipality of Portugal, and so we can find members of the Valladares family on both sides of the Minho river that divides Spain & Portugal. The family was able to establish themselves in other regions of Spain and become influential members of their communities. They were granted nobility by the Order of Santiago in 1624, and by the Order of Alcantara in 1659. Early Notables Among prominent bearers of the family name in this era was Antonio Gaspar Valladares, Maria Tomasa Valladares and Ana Jacoba Valladares Sarmiento, who were listed in the records of the noble Order of Carlos III. José Sarmiento de Valladares y Arines-Troncoso Romay, 1st Duke of Atrisco, Grandee of Spain, jure uxoris Count of Moctezuma (1643-1708) was viceroy of New Spain( meaning Mexico, Central America and the southern part of the USA) from December 18, 1696, to November 3, 1701. Diego Sarmiento de Valladares (1615-1695) was a Spanish bishop who was Grand Inquisitor of Spain from 1669 to 1695.(https://www.houseofnames.com/Valladares+-family-crest)

The first titled member of the Valladares nobility in Galicia was [[Luis Sarmiento de Valladares]], the first viscount of Meira in 1669 and first [[Marquisate of Valladares|marquis de Valladares]] 1673, the latter title granted by King [[Charles II of Spain]] in the second half of the 17th-century.<ref name="RIESGO"/>
