Tubilla of the Lake in his origins
The name of the people is of
the medieval epoch, and almost it is
possible to make sure that it derives from the word tufa, lime whitish ground that
abounds in the surroundings of the people. There was an epoch in which his name been
Tobella of the Lake.
The word Lake owes to the existence in that epoch of a lagoon or swampy zone
next to the locality, something that on the other hand, it is not of missing due
to the big quantity of springs that still today remain active,
even in the years of less rains.
Tubilla of the Lake is one of the most ancient peoples of the
region. The historian and Benedictine wise person P. Mountain he quotes Tubilla of the Lake
between the peoples fortified in the Xth century. In the IXth century there is founded the people of Tubilla of the Lake, and
already in the Xth century it has Castle and Fortification.
The teacher Francisco de Berganza in his work " Antiquities of Spain " in the chapter 10, dates us:
" Eylo and his sister Goto, becoming relatives
of the Monastery of Cardeña, offered the Serna, which they had in Quintana of the
Lame persons, and the third part of the estates and Patronage of the Church of S. Pedro. Alonso
Sandino on his wife Eylo met the Church of S. Pedro in the place of Tobilla, which was in
the banks of the river Esgueva. It is known of donations done to the above mentioned Church of S. Pedro,
that it was a Monastery, and that his abbot was Recesvindo. In the same territory of Tobilla there were
two monasteries; one dedicated to S. Vicente, and other dedicated to Sta. Eulalia, that habín
incorporated into the Monastery of S. Pedro. In the date of the donation of Alonso
Sandino of May 1 of 950. This way this donation, as that of two sisters Eylo and
Goto, they say, that Fernán González was a count of Castile. "
Also it dates us in the chapter 12 of the same book the following thing:
" Alonso Sandinez, who gave to the Monastery of Cardeña the
Church of S. Pedro de Tobilla in the banks of the river Esgueva, sold to abbot
Recesvindo a meadow, next to Torresandino, for a horse with his yellow brake, in May
1 of 958; reigning the León D. Sancho and Count Fernán González in Castile ".
And in the chapter 7 the following thing narrates us:
" Abbot D. Endura, whom the History of Arlanza calls
D. Ovenco, happened in the abbey of Cardeña to D. Esteban Segundo.
The first memory of abbot D. Endura is in profession, which Sancho Presbítero did in
February 19 of 969, reigning D. Ramiro in León and Count Fernán González in
Castile. Rodrigo Presbítero, and his partners Gonzalo, and Rodrigo, submitting to
abbot D. Endura, and to the monastic observance of Cardeñ, to, they arranged the Church of S.
Vicente that was in the banks of the river Esgueva, next to the place of Tobilla, with all the estate
it belonged to the above mentioned Church. This byline of August 10 of the above mentioned year, reigning the same
gentlemen. "
What Francisco de Berganza says to us, is that the Church of
S. Pedro de Tobilla is joined to the Monastery of Cardeña in the year 950. And the
monasteries of S. Vicente and of Sta. Eulalia they were attached to the Monastery of Cardeña.
According to a document found in the file of The Vine, king D. Alfonso VIII did
favor to count D. Pedro who already possesses territory in Haza, Lerma, etc.; in the year 1162.
As parish was, in some time, under the jurisdición of the Episcopate of
Burgos, but already in 1178 it belonged to Osma and the election of the parson and his
presentation was doing the Monastery of S. Pedro de Gumiel to the Bishop.
In 1182 Alfonso VIII and his wife Dña. Leonor (founder of the monastery of The Strikes of
Burgos) they gave to the monastery of Premonstratenses de Ntra. Mrs. of The Vine, the Town
of Tubilla.
Another document of the file of the Monastery of The Vine shows, according to testimony
of Pedro Fernández, public notary in Aranda, that king
Don Pedro granted entirely the Town of Tobella to the Monastery of The Vine in 1365.
From other texts the following phrase is extracted: " In 1411 the Monastery of Gumiel bought
in Tubilla ... for 30 goats. " (The object is not known).
In 1420 Tubilla understood himself with Gumiel de Hizán to be able to cut firewood
in the mount SUSO (it derives from the Latin of the word Sursum, which signifida Arrives).
The document finds in the book Bump of the Town of Gumiel and says the following thing:
" Know all the this letter it sentences that convention delegate they will see, as in Villalvilla, village
of the Town of Gumiel ... on September 18, 1420 ... being present Pedro
Fernández Baños, neighbor of the Town of Gumiel, attorney of the council and omes good of the town ...; and
Pedro Fernández and Pedro Martínez ... neighbors of Tovilla, place of the Monastery
of Sta. Maria de La Vid ... attorneys of the council and omes good ... of Tovilla, of
another part; in the presence of Us García Pérez, clergyman of
Cuevasrubias of the Episcopate of Burgos and Ruy González de Gumiel, clergyman ...
apostolic notaries and of the witnesses of yuso writings, he looked like present Pedro Martínez,
fixed of nearby Pascual Sánchez of the place of Tovillas, judges, friends, umpires,
arbitrators ... judges of compromise, taken and chosen between both above mentioned councils...
" The neighbors of Gumiel assembled like of custom in Sta. Mª, to avoid pleitose coshops with the
same ones of Tovilla on cutting firewood and taking firewood of the mount of Villalvilla
de Suso who say, and the neighbors of Tovilla who should find cutting firewood in
the above mentioned mount, and caught within a period of Gumiel or his villages, for any person,
loses the beast and everything what they take ... "
The neighbors of Tovilla also met along with the Church of S. Adrián,
according to custom, and they were not similar with agreed by those of Gumiel, but
they determined " to pay only 4 maravedis pair every load ".
The judges sentenced: " FIRST: if someone is caught by a gavijón of broom or firewood
in the mount of susu he must pay 4 maravedis and if major firewood is 8
maravedis and being at night the double. SECOND: if someone was caught in the mount Yuso (below)
entering the way of Villalvilla Pinilla lose the knighthood. THIRD:
if it was leaving the knighthood it would be, in the way, and it would be found cutting
firewood, lose the hardware ... "
In 1567 it did not rain at all from January until the day of San Marcos,
for what they determined the riverside villages to do a rogativa to the Virgin
of The Vineyards of Aranda. To happiness rogativa the people of
Tubilla came in mass, between other many of the outline, with disciplinary and receiving with big
devotion the holy sacraments of atonement and communion.
On December 29, 1575, the Monastery of The Vine sold the Dominion of
Tubilla to D. Diego Váiz, native of Peñarnda de Duero. His price
was 1000 maravedis alfonsinos. The above mentioned Dominion
the " vassalage was entering and jurisdición, sorrow of camera and 210 maravedis
of martiniega, which the neighbors were paying a year for price of 451.000 mrvs ... that there mounted
43 neighbors who existed in her, and they recognized after him for Gentleman.
In a document of 1586, there is read: " In este presente year, illustrious
Mister D. Diego Váiz, Master of the town of Tobilla of the Lake,
judge of resistance of this town (The Aerie) for the Excmo. Mr. Conde de Miranda and
Viceroy of Catalonia, master of her ... " ".
Little lasted this Dominion, since to his death, the heirs sold it
to the Alcoceres (Noble Family of Albamar and Briviesca). Nevertheless taken by his
religious spirit, it could leave a good memory in the Parochial Church, dedicated then to
San Adrián constructing the head of the same one, with vault of crucería, and
lengthening this way the only small ship, which then it had, for his 44
neighbors.
In 1607 Tubilla was paying to the Monastery of The Vine 160 fanegas, for half of wheat and
fattened, and in the suit that they had 100 had left reduced.
In the same year, the Dominion of the Town, it went on from the heirs
of D. Diego Váiz, for title of selling, to D. Andrés Alcocer, who
with the above mentioned Dominion and other goods, founded a primogeniture.
Still today there remains the Stately house of the Alcoceres, placed in the low part
of the people, along with the square.
