Duke of Ahumada (Spanish: Duque de Ahumada) is a hereditary title of Spanish nobility, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee. It was created on 6 June 1835[1] by Queen Isabella II (in her name, the Regent, Queen Maria Christina) in favor of Army general Pedro Agustín Girón, 4th Marquess of Amarillas, minister of War.
This family descends from both the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II and Louis XIV, but became especially well-known thanks to the 2nd duke, who founded the Civil Guard in 1844.[2][3]
