Marquess of Carpio (Spanish: Marqués del Carpio) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain accompanied by the dignity of Grandee, granted in 1559 by Philip II to Diego López de Haro, Lord of Carpio, veintiquatro and first chief of the Royal Stables of Córdoba.[2][3]
The title holds dominion and lordship over what is roughly the area of El Carpio in the area of Andalucía, Province of Córdoba, and was at times also tied to the Señorios of Lobrín and Sorbes. The title lends its name to the House of Carpio.
