Duke of San Miguel (Spanish: Duque de San Miguel, Italian: Duca di San Michele) is a hereditary title in the peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1625 by Philip IV to Giovanni Gravina Cruyllas, viceroy of Sicily.[2][3]
The title became vacant for more than 200 years until Francisco Franco rehabilitated it in 1956 on behalf of Juan Castillejo y Ussía, 6th Count of Floridablanca and a descendant of the 2nd duke.
Although the title had already been rehabilitated in the Kingdom of Italy in 1903 to Pasquale Gravina Cruyllas.[4]
Disambiguation[]
In 1855 Isabella II granted a dukedom with the same name to Evaristo Fernández de San Miguel, Captain general of the Army, with no relation to the present dukedom. Because the original Dukedom of San Miguel, or San Michele, had been granted by the monarch as King of Sicily, it was not registered under Spain's peerage.
