Fernando VII awarded him the Duchy of Ciudad Rodrigo with Grandee of Spain, dated 01/30/1812. This title is maintained to this day his descendant Arthur Valerian Wellesley. He was also granted the rank of Captain General of the Royal Spanish Army.
It is obvious that Spanish and English have always been enemies but in Spain always hated the British without knowing that perhaps the issue of Gibraltar painful but this man saved Spain from the French, is not only hero in Uk is also a hero in Spain! Spain, France, England sometimes friends sometimes enemies now friends thanks God !
Great video! I've given you five stars. Please check out my clip on 1930's trading cards of famous peoples' homes from history: Duke of Wellington, Lord Tennyson, Robert Louis Stevenson, William, Shakespeare, Sir Walter Scott, Sir Isaac Newton, John Knox, John Keats, Thomas Hardy, Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Lord Byron, Robert Burns, William Shakespeare etc.
