Close
Martínez-Bordiú was the 2nd Duchess of Franco from July 2018[1] until revocation of her dukedom and associated grandeeship on 21 October 2022 as a result of the Democratic Memory Law. She is the granddaughter of former Spanish general and dictator Francisco Franco and this law aimed to remove some of the remaining Franco symbols from the country, including the abolition of her title of nobility, granted to her mother during the regime of General Franco.[2]
