{{Short description|Castilian noble family}} {{Expand Spanish|Casa de Haro|date=July 2012}} {{Infobox family | name = Haro | coat_of_arms = Arms of the House of Haro, Lords of Biscay.svg | titles = Lordship of Biscay }} The '''House of Haro''' was one of the most powerful families of Castile during the Middle Ages, which strongly supported the expansionist policies of Alfonso VI of Castile. As a reward, Íñigo López was named the first Lord of Biscay.
In the early 16th century, the Haro family married paternally into the House of Sotomayor establishing a branch that would go on to hold dominion over the Marquesado del Carpio established in 1559 by King Philip II of Spain.
