The municipality of Pancorbo (534 inhabitants in 2010; 5,845 ha; municipal website) is located in the northeast of the Province of Burgos, 70 km of Burgos.
Pancorbo was mentioned in 883 in Cronicón Albeldense as
Pontecorbum. Incorporated into Navarre in 1029 after the death of King of Castile García Sanchez, Pancorbo was reincorporated into Castile in 1054, following the Battle of Atapuerca, by King Ferdinand I.
Reconquerred by Navarre in 1068, the village was eventually
incorporated to Castile in 1076 by Alfonso VI. On 8 March 1147,
Alfonso VII granted a charter to Pancorbo, confirming its status of
realengo (Royal domain) and allowing a weekly market. Once capital
of the Bureba region, Pancorbo declined in the 14th century when the
capital was transferred to Briviesca. The village was eventually
granted to the Burgos Council in 1379 by John I.
The St. Engracia fort of Pancorbo was built at the end of the 18th
century, after Spain had declared war to the French Republic in 1793;
the fort, protected by 173 cannons, could cater 600 horses and 10,000
soldiers. Decommissioned in 1796 following the Spanish-French
alliance, the fort was seized in 1808 by the French troops, who
eventually surrendered in June 1813.
