caption_attribution_description: English: 15th-century painting of a Spanish nobleman, supposedly Pedro de Peralta y Ezpeleta (1421–1492). This image is apparently reproduced from a newspaper clipping (Diario de Navarra, 16 March 1947), where it was captioned Mosen Pierres de Peralta ante el vicario de Cristo.. The original painting is unidentified. The identification of its subject is unconfirmed, and may be mistaken. Compare this El Mundo article of 26 May 2007 which shows the 17th marquis of Falces with a different portrait of the same period, of a nobleman in a similar pose, identified as un retrato del antepasado al que los Reyes Católicos obsequiaron con la espada del Cid [i.e. Pedro de Peralta y Ezpeleta].

  was a Navarrese nobleman, politician and military leader, active in the Navarrese Civil War.
  He was the first Count of Santisteban de Lerín, Baron of Marcilla, and lord of Peralta, Funes, Cárcar, Andosilla, Marcilla, Falces, Undiano, Azagra and Caparroso.
  He was the son of Pedro Martínez de Peralta and Ruiz de Azagra and Juana de Ezpeleta y Garro, daughter of the Baron de Ezpeleta of the family of the lords of Ezpeleta and Gallipienzo, and sister of Beltrán de Ezpeleta, first Viscount of Valderro.
  He married twice, in 1440 with Anne of Brabant, illegitimate daughter of Anthony of Burgundy and in 1462 Isabel de Foix y de Albret of the royal family of Navarre.
  He maintained close relations with the House of Aragon and the Catholic Monarchs, and he received titles in exchange for his agreement to the marriage of Isabel I of Castile to Ferdinand II of Aragon in 1469.
  Ferdinand in 1513 created de Peralta's grandson Alonso Carrillo de Peralta the first marquis of Falces.
  The marquesses of Falces would reside in Marcilla Castle, built by Pierres the Elder, for the next five centuries.
