Was the king of Spain in 1975 given the title "Marquessate of Samaranch"?
Marquisate of Samaranch The Marquessate of Samaranch (Spanish: "Marquesado de Samaranch" ) is a hereditary title of Spanish nobility. The title was bestowed by King Juan Carlos I of Spain on Juan Antonio Samaranch on 30 December 1991, honouring his efforts in support of the Olympic movement as President of the International Olympic Committee.
Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca (Spanish: "Marquesado del Valle de Oaxaca" ) is a hereditary marquisal title in the Spanish nobility and a former seignorial estate in New Spain. It was granted to Don Hernán Cortés, "conquistador" who led the conquest of the Aztec Empire, by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor in 1529. Despite its name, the marquisate covered a much larger area than the Valley of Oaxaca, comprising a vast stretch of land in the present-day Mexican states of Oaxaca, Morelos, Veracruz, Michoacán and Mexico.
