r ən ˈ d iː spanish grande de españa spanish ˈɡɾande is an official aristocratic title conferred on some spanish nobility 1 holders of this dignity enjoyed similar privileges to those of the peerage of france during the ancien régime though a grandee of spain generally had greater social privileges than those of other similar european dignities 2 with the exception of fernandina 3 all spanish dukedoms are automatically attached to a grandeeship yet only a few marquessates countships viscountcies baronies and lordships have the distinction a single person can be a grandee of spain multiple times as grandeeships are attached except in a few cases to a title and not an individual such grandees with more than one title notably include the current duchess of medinaceli and the duke of alba who are grandees ten and nine times respectively all sons and daughters of infantes are also grandees 4 according to the 1876 constitution fully in force until 1923 grandees of spain could also be senators por derecho propio in their own right alongside archbishops and top military ranks 5 as of 2018 grandeeships totalled 417 out of the 2 942 extant titles in spain approximately 14 of which there were 153 dukedoms 142 marquessates 108 countships 2 viscountcies 2 baronies 3 lordships and 7 hereditary grandees with no title attached to the grandeeship 6 despite losing their last legal privilege in 1984 when the right to possess diplomatic passports and immunity was revoked for all grandees of spain they still enjoy certain ceremonial privileges 7 all grandees are entitled to remain covered in the presence of the king of spain as well as being addressed by him as primo cousin a privilege that originated in the 16th century when most grandees were close relatives of the monarch 8 outside spain the term can refer to other people of a somewhat comparable exalted position roughly synonymous with magnate formerly a rank of high nobility especially when it carried the right to a parliamentary seat by extension the term can refer informally to any important person of high status particularly wealthy landed long time residents in a region in the united kingdom the term is currently and informally used of influential and long standing members of the conservative party labour party and liberal democrats 9 10 and has had more specific meanings in the past origins and privileges edit for a more comprehensive list see list of current grandees of spain coronet of a grandee of spain most spanish noble titles are granted as títulos del reino peer of the realm many of which predate the modern spanish monarchy the kings of spain re established in 1520 the ancient dignity of grande to confer as an additional rank of honour the post nominals of grandees of spain are ge 11 12 the dignity of grandee grand noble began to be assumed by spain s leading noblemen in the middle ages to distinguish them as a grand señor lord of the realm from lesser ricoshombres nobles de naturaleza whose rank evolved into that of hidalgo it was as john selden the 17th century english jurist pointed out not a general term denoting a class but an additional individual dignity not only to all dukes but to some marquesses and counts also 13 14 noble titles including and above the rank of count were seldom created in heredity by the kings of castile and aragon until the late middle ages in contrast to france and elsewhere in europe where feudalism evolved more quickly being largely associated with royal officers until the 14th century the conferral of grandeeships initially conveyed only ceremonial privileges such as remaining covered or seated in the presence of royalty over time grandees received more substantial rights for example freedom from taxation and immunity from arrest save at the king s command 14 they were usually the senior judicial officers of their region these rights later became open to abuse with some grandees renouncing their allegiance to the monarchy to wage war on the king in the late 1470s king ferdinand ii and queen isabella i were the first to clamp down on grandee powers assumed by the medieval territorial nobles in the 16th century limitations on the number of grandees were introduced by king charles i who later became holy roman emperor as charles v who decreed that the spanish crown had the sole right to confer the dignity of a grandee subsequently the grandes de españa grandees of spain were subdivided into three grades 14 those who spoke to the king and received his reply in full regalia those who addressed the king uncovered but by right wore their coronets to hear his answer those who required permission from the king before wearing their coronets 14 heraldic mantle of a grandee of spain all grandees traditionally have been addressed by the king as mi primo my cousin whereas ordinary nobles are formally styled as mi pariente my kinsman grandezas could also be bestowed upon foreigners such as the memorialist louis de rouvroy duc de saint simon who took great pride in becoming a grandee after his successful posting as french ambassador to madrid representing king louis xiv the dignity was highly considered by foreign peers for an extensive period of time it was even deemed the pinnacle of nobiliary stratification 15 foreign grandees were mostly french although there was also a significant number of german flemish walloon italian and novohispanic aztec peers as a result of the scope of the spanish empire in europe and the americas 16 some examples included the dukes of wellington bavaria villars mouchy moctezuma de tultengo doudeauville croÿ the princes of sulmona ligne and the counts of egmont 17 the dignity of grandee was abolished by the napoleonic king joseph bonaparte before being revived in 1834 by estatuto real when grandees were given precedence in the chamber of peers of spain nowadays all grandees are deemed to be of the first class and is an honorific dignity conferring neither power nor legal privilege a grandeza de españa grandeeship is a separate legal entity from a title of nobility although grandezas are normally but not exclusively granted in conjunction with a title since the 20th century invariably the king of spain has conferred a grandeza de españa upon any newly created duke 18 a grandee of any noble rank is higher in precedence than a non grandee apart from members of the spanish royal family even if that non grandee holds a hereditary title titulo of a higher grade than that of the said grandee thus a baron grandee would outrank a non grandee marquess thus rendering the dignity of grandeza an hereditary rank of precedence rather than a title of nobility since 1987 children of an infante of spain are recognised as members of the spanish royal family and are accorded the rank and style of a grandee by courtesy they do not formally hold this dignity until such time as a title with grandeza is granted to them by the sovereign 19 some of the best known spanish grandees are the dukes of arcos of alba of medinaceli of villahermosa of osuna del infantado of alburquerque of moctezuma of frías and of medina sidonia well known marquesses include those of aguilar de campoo of astorga of santillana and of los vélez the counts of benavente of lerín olivares oñate and lemos also hold grandeeships grandees and their consorts are entitled to the honorific prefix of the most excellent lord lady or his her most excellency and they can be addressed as primo cousin by the king although this tradition is in disuse today portugal and brazil edit this section does not cite any sources please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources unsourced material may be challenged and removed december 2020 learn how and when to remove this message both portuguese and brazilian nobility adopted the term grande grandee from the spanish to designate a higher rank of noblemen 20 the brazilian system automatically deemed dukes marquises and counts as well as archbishops and bishops grandes do império grandees of the empire or literally translated as great ones of the empire viscounts and barons could also be ennobled with or without grandeza grandeeship alternatively greatness viscounts ennobled with grandeeship displayed a count s coronet on their coat of arms and barons ennobled with grandeeship bore a coat of arms surmounted by a viscount s coronet the order of precedence in brazilian nobility was as follows after the members of the imperial family dukes marquises counts viscounts with grandeeship viscounts without grandeeship barons with grandeeship barons without grandeeship brazilian grandeeships like its nobility were not hereditary titles grandees were allowed to keep their heads covered in the presence of the king or emperor until such time as the monarch may command otherwise as elsewhere throughout europe these noble families displayed their coats of arms on their properties carriages or vehicles and over their graves see hatchment the abolition of the monarchies in portugal and brazil extinguished the formal use of such

english landed gentry who served in the new model army who were opposed to the more radical levellers came to be informally termed grandees 21 after the defeat of charles i of england in the second

fairfax oliver cromwell and henry ireton who opposed the agitators more radical proposals these disagreements were aired publicly at the putney debates which started in late october 1647 and lasted
