Marquess Of Almenara (1587)
Marquess of Almenara ( es, Marqués de Almenara) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1587 by Philip II to Iñigo López de Mendoza, his representative in the Kingdom of Aragon. Iñigo López de Mendoza went to trial with his first cousin, the Princess of Éboli, to claim the Lordship of Puebla de Almenara, founded by their great-grandfather, Cardinal Mendoza, who had established that it could only be inherited through the male line. He subsequently won the lawsuit, becoming Lord of Almenara and in 1587, he became the 1st Marquess of Almenara by the wishes of the king. In 1623, Philip IV granted another title with the same name, yet making reference to a completely different location near Peñaflor, in the Province of Seville. This subsequent title is sometimes referred to as "Marquess of Dehesa de Almenara" to distinguish it from the older title, despite the official name being the same.

Marquesses Of Spain
A marquess (; french: marquis ), es, marqués, pt, marquês. is a nobleman of high hereditary rank in various European peerages and in those of some of their former colonies. The German language equivalent is Markgraf (margrave). A woman with the rank of a marquess or the wife (or widow) of a marquess is a marchioness or marquise. These titles are also used to translate equivalent Asian styles, as in Imperial China and Imperial Japan. Etymology The word ''marquess'' entered the English language from the Old French ("ruler of a border area") in the late 13th or early 14th century. The French word was derived from ("frontier"), itself descended from the Middle Latin ("frontier"), from which the modern English word ''march'' also descends. The distinction between governors of frontier territories and interior territories was made as early as the founding of the Roman Empire when some provinces were set aside for administration by the senate and more unpacified or vulnerabl ...
