Pedro de Alcántara Téllez-Girón y Beaufort Spontin, 11th Duke of Osuna, GE (10 September 1810 – 29 September 1844), was a Spanish peer, head of the House of Osuna. He was one of the most important peers of his time, and was thirteen times a duke, twelve a marquess, thirteen a count and once a viscount.[1]

Family origins

[edit]

Pedro was the son of Francisco Téllez-Girón, 10th Duke de Osuna and of María Francisca Beaufort Spontin y Álvarez de Toledo, 11th Marchioness of Almenara. The Téllez-Girón family had held title over the Dukedom of Osuna since 1562 with the rise of Pedro Téllez-Girón.

Biography

[edit]

Pedro inherited the Dukedom of Osuna after the death of his father in 1820.

He died in 1844 without leaving behind any heirs. As a result, all of his titles, including the Dukedoms of the Infantado and of Osuna would pass on to his brother, Mariano Téllez-Girón.[1]
