Duke of Andría

Duke of Andría (Spanish: Duque de Andría) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1507 by Ferdinand II to "El Gran Capitán" (Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba), a general who negotiated the Surrender of Granada and led the Spanish to victory in the Italian Wars.[2] It is a victory title, making reference to the town of Andria in the Province of Bari, Italy.

After the death of the 1st Duke, Ferdinand II prohibited the inheritance and use of the Dukedoms of Andría, Terranova and Montalto and thus the title was unofficially held by some of his Italian descendants for more than 300 years. However, in 1904, Alfonso XIII formally rehabilitated the title on behalf of José Alfonso de Bustos, a legitimate descendant of the 1st Duke, who legally became the 2nd Duke of Andría.

gollark: Exactly. They're obviously trying to allay our suspicions so they can do federal agent things more easily.
gollark: Sounds like something a federal agent would say.
gollark: If this is purely an investigational thing then sure, sounds fun. You may also want to investigate right-wing blogs, which I assume exist.
gollark: It's mostly the propaganda bit which would generate annoyance, if they plan to actually deploy that.
gollark: It could be *interesting*, but that depends on exactly how many people had the same idea.
