Marquess of Viana (1875)

Marquess of Viana (Marqués de Viana) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain accompanied by the dignity of Grandee, granted in 1875 by Alfonso XII to Teobaldo de Saavedra, son of the 3rd Duke of Rivas and strong proponent of the Bourbon Restoration. The name refers to the small town of Viana de Mondéjar, in Trillo, Guadalajara.

The 2nd Marquess held important positions in the Royal Household as he was Sommelier de Corps, Caballerizo mayor and Montero Mayor, as well as a close friend of Alfonso XIII. There was also a manifest enmity between him and the queen, since she accused him of promoting the infidelities of the king, while Viana despised her for having introduced Haemophilia in the royal family.
