History
[edit]The Spanish Branch
[edit]The family was founded in Palma de Mallorca by Ramón Maroto y González, lieutenant of the Spanish regiment, and his wife, María Francisca Villalonga y Ferrandell, Marchioness of Casa Ferrandell.[1] Members were elevated to Grandee through the titles Marquis of Salar and Marquis of Casa Ferrandell.[2] A prominent member of the branch is Rafael Maroto, a Spanish general known for his involvement on the Spanish side in the wars of independence in South America and on the Carlist side in the First Carlist War. He was granted the titles Viscount of Elgueta and Count of Casa Maroto by Isabella II. He was also awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic by Ferdinand VII.

Another notable member is Juan Maroto y Polo, Marquis of Santo Domingo.[4] He was Mayordomo de Semana to Alfonso XIII, where he accompanied the King at all times and was entrusted with important functions at the service of the Monarch. Cristóbal Colón de Carvajal y Maroto, grandson of Juan Maroto y Polo and great-grandson of Rafael Maroto, was a Spanish naval vice admiral. He held the titles Duke of Veragua, Duke of la Vega, Marquis of Aguilafuente, and Marquis of Jamaica.[5]

Members of the branch have been known to possess significant fortunes. One such member is Fernando González Valerio y González Maroto, Marquis of Casa Ferrandell. He was the richest man in the province of A Coruña until his death in 1923.[7]
The Cuban Branch
[edit]The branch was founded in the Captaincy General of Cuba in the 17th century by Tomás Maroto y Moya, a migrant from Tenerife. In 1821, his great-grandson, Francisco Ponce de León y Maroto, was granted the title Count of Casa Ponce de León y Maroto.[8] The countship represents the branch's unification with the House of Ponce de León, whose members descend from Alfonso IX of León.[9] In 1833, Francisco's brother, Antonio Ponce de León y Maroto, was granted the title Marquis of Aguas Claras by Ferdinand VII.[10]
The Portuguese Branch
[edit]In the early-19th century, a branch was founded on the island of São Miguel from the marriage of António da Câmara and Antonia de Jesus Maroto. Their descendants adopted the Maroto surname despite being of paternal line to the House of Câmara.[11] Members of the branch held positions of influence in Portuguese politics and society until the collapse of the monarchy in 1910.[12]
