The Anscarids (Latin: Anscarii) or the House of Ivrea were a medieval dynasty of Burgundian and Frankish origin which rose
to prominence in Northern Italy in the tenth century, even briefly holding the Italian throne. The main branch ruled the County
of Burgundy from the eleventh to fourteenth centuries and it was one of their members who first declared himself a count palatine.
The cadet Castilian branch of Ivrea ruled the Kingdom of Galicia from 1111 and the Kingdoms of Castile and León from 1126
until 1369. The Spanish House of Trastámara, which ruled in Castile, Aragon, Naples, and Navarre at various points between
the late 14th and early 16th centuries, was an illegitimate cadet branch of that family.
