Alderette Spelling Variations

Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Alderette include Alderete, Aldrete, Alderetes, Aldaret, Aldarete and many more.

Don Pedro and Don Rodriguez Alderete are buried there in ornate tombs. The Palacio de los Alderete (The Alderete Palace) also still stands in Tordesillas.
