The Parientes Mayores, or heirs of the Casa de Urquizu, head of the gamboino faction in Bizcay, formed one of the largest lineage of the Basque Country, throughout the Late Middle Ages. This paper analyses the evolution of its genealogy, the family connections and the social relations of a linage that founded its political rise in its loyalty to the Señores de Vizcaya and the Kings of Castile. Its participation in the social and political struggles of the Señorío de Vizcaya was a result of the power attained by the family in the northwest of the Castilian Kingdom, along the 14th and 15th centuries.
