Count of Villaverde


Count of Villaverde de Madrid, commonly known as Count of Villaverde is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1602 by Philip III to Lope de Guzmán y Portocarrero.
On January 10, 1958, it received the current name of "Villaverde County of Madrid", replacing the primitive and original "Villaverde County", being therefore, this new title successor and continuation of the original one.
