History
Its name and coat of arms are derived from the noble Medrano family. The earliest mention of Medrano, La Rioja is recorded in Sojuela (Logroño), on November 2, 1044.[2] The King of Navarre, García Sánchez III of Pamplona, known as 'the one from Nájera,' with his consort Queen Estefanía de Foix, donates to the church of San Julián de Sojuela the village of Medrano, and all its territory. He also grants the church of San Vicente over Medrano with its granary.[3]
García Sánchez II of Navarre donated the town of Medrano and Sojuela to the Monastery of San Julián with the aim of restoring them. Queen Estefanía de Nájera, widow of King García Sánchez III of Pamplona, granted her the privilege of joining the villages of Campo, which together with Navarrete, Hornos, Medrano, Entrena, Velilla and Fuenmayor thus benefited from the joint use of water, pastures and paths.[4]
On September 1, 1054, Medrano, La Rioja is documented as one of the seven Villas del Campo, namely: Navarrete, Fuenmayor, Coscujos, Hornos de Moncalvillo, Medrano, Vilella (or Velilla), and Entrena.[3]
In Burgos, on January 30, 1137, King Alfonso VII of Castile and León, known as 'the Emperor,' along with his wife, Empress Doña Berenguela de Barcelona, rectifies the prior of Santa María la Real de Nájera, by rescinding an improper grant to Abbot Don Pedro of San Millán de la Cogolla. The document specifically addresses the restitution of the church and monastery of Santa Coloma in the territory of Nájera, including the district of San Miguel in Nájera, as well as notable locations like the town of Medrano.[3]
