History
The family legend says that they directly descended from the French royal family, but the real genealogical connection was never proved. Members of the family were Dukes of Cardona, Grandees of Spain, and Viceroys of Catalonia, Sicily, Sardinia, Naples, and New Granada. They also have four cardinals, many bishops, and one blessed.
