Alleged identification with Arriaca
A Roman town called Arriaca, possibly founded by a pre-Roman culture, is suggested to have been located in that region. There is however no archeological proof of its existence, only references in texts such as the Ruta Antonina, which describe it as being in the hands of the Carpetani when encountered by the Romans. The city, as Caracca, was incorporated into the Roman province of Hispania Tarraconensis. The city was on the high road from Emerita (modern Mérida) to Caesaraugusta (modern Zara...

The founding of Guadalajara, dating from the Islamic period, is attributed to a person named "Faraŷ".[b] It was officially known as Madīnat al-Faraŷ in the 9th and 10th centuries.

It has also been proposed that Ḥajārashould not be understood as 'stones'/'gravel', but in the sense of 'castles' or 'for...

The family included Íñigo López de Mendoza, also known as Marqués de Santillana (1398–1458), and Pedro González de Mend...
