Ramón Cabrera, 1st Duke of Maestrazgo

Ramón Cabrera, born on December twenty-seventh, eighteen oh six, was a prominent military figure in the Carlist Wars, particularly known for his role as a general in Catalonia. His leadership and strategic prowess during this tumultuous period earned him significant recognition and respect among his peers and followers.

Despite the prestige associated with his title as the 1st Duke of Maestrazgo, Cabrera made a remarkable decision to renounce this grandee title along with its annual stipend. This act of selflessness was aimed at supporting those less fortunate, showcasing his commitment to the welfare of others over personal gain.

Instead of the grand ducal title, Cabrera retained the Carlist count title recognized by the Borbón family, as well as subsequent marquis titles. This choice reflects his deep-rooted loyalty to the Carlist cause and his dedication to the principles he fought for throughout his military career.
