Standard of the Dukedom of Alba
Duke of Alba de Tormes (Spanish : Duque de Alba de Tormes ), commonly known as Duke of Alba , is a title of Spanish nobility that is accompanied by the dignity of Grandee of Spain .[1] Count of Alba de Tormes , inherited by García Álvarez de Toledo , was elevated to the title of Duke of Alba de Tormes by King Henry IV of Castile .[2]
History [ edit ]
The dukedom of Alba de Tormes is one of the most significant noble titles of Spain and gives its name to the House of Alba . Over the centuries, members of three distinct family dynasties have held the title in succession – the House of Álvarez de Toledo [es , the House of Silva (extinct in 1802) and the House of Fitz-James Stuart , which descends from an illegitimate son of King James II of England .
Famous holders of this dukedom include Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba , governor of the Spanish Netherlands (references to "Alba" (or "Alva" in Dutch), particularly in the context of Dutch history, are usually about him), and Doña María del Pilar de Silva, 13th Duchess of Alba , a muse of the painter Francisco Goya . When they first met, Francisco Goya was much older than the Duchess of Alba. Goya was in his late 40s and the Duchess was in her early 30s.[3]
Various dukes have married into the families of Christopher Columbus and Cosimo de Medici , as well as the line of the Dukes of Berwick , making them distant relatives of the Earls Spencer and the Dukes of Marlborough .
Today, the ducal family of Alba retains a large and valuable collection of art and historic documents. The largest part of this treasure is kept at the main residence of the family in Madrid, the Liria Palace .
