The House of Queiroz (Portuguese: Casa de Queiroz, Spanish: Casa de Quirós) is an aristocratic and noble family of Portugal and Spain. Founded by Prince Constantino in 846 in the nineteenth-century Astúrias, Spain. The Queiroz family has French and Asturian origins and is one of the most prominent and important dynasties in the history of the Iberian Peninsula. The house is also one of the 72 houses of the Portuguese high nobility, displayed at the Palace of Sintra (Portuguese: Palácio de Sintra) in the Sala de Sintra (English: Sintra's Room).
