He was married on 22 October 1743, aged 19, to Mariana de Silva y Álvarez de Toledo, whose mother was María Teresa Álvarez de Toledo Haro, and 11th Duchess of Alba de Tormes in her own right.
He became a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1753, aged 29. He was also Caballerizo mayor to King Charles III. [1]
