The Viscounts of Azpa were the rulers of the Viscountcy of Azpa. The Viscountcy takes its name from the town of Azpa, a locality and council located in the municipality of Valle de Egüés, in Navarre province, Spain. The Viscountcy of Azpa is a hereditary Spanish noble title granted to Don Alonso Vélaz de Medrano by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in the mid 16th century. The Medrano family, lords of Azpa, Igúzquiza and of the Palace of Vélaz de Medrano in Navarre, were later granted the title Marquess of Fontellas.[1][2][3]
