Hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duke of Arcos (Spanish: Duque de Arcos) is an hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted by Isabella I in 1493 to Rodrigo Ponce de León, then 4th Count of Arcos.[2][3] The dukedom is among the first 25 titles which reached the rank of Grandee of Spain 1st Class, in 1520. Nowadays however, all Grandees are of the same class.
