History

[edit]

The Counts of Echauz are a branch of the Viscounts of Baigorri. The title was granted around 1033, in the High Middle Ages, by King Sancho III of Pamplona.[5]

The name of the peerage refers to Echauz Castle, in the province of Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, Lower Navarre, which was part of the Kingdom of Navarre, alongside the Bay of Biscay between present-day Spain and France.
