First holder | Leopoldo O'Donnell y Jorís, 1st Duke of Tetuán |

It is a victory title, and was granted to O'Donnell as a result of his success at the Battle of Tétouan, during the War of Africa.
It has been held since its creation by members of the O'Donnell family, as the 5th Duchess, Blanca O'Donnell, died without issue of her marriage to Guillermo Pelizaeus. Should they have had children, the dukedom would have gone out of the family.
