Duke of Fernández-Miranda (Spanish: Duque de Fernández-Miranda), is a title for Spanish nobility that is accompanied by the additional honorific dignity of Grandee of Spain (a separate legal entity from the title of nobility). It was granted by Juan Carlos I on 31 May 1977 to Torcuato Fernández-Miranda y Hevia,[1] who played an important role in the Spanish transition to democracy. His political education of then Prince Juan Carlos (starting in 1960) during the dictatorship of Francoist Spain, and his statesmanship creating transitional laws and a constitution, and in facilitating the referendum and democratic elections after the death of Francisco Franco in 1975, were instrumental in Spain's return to democracy.
