Duc de la Conquista
Also known as: Duc de la Conquista, Conquista
The duc de la Conquista, a Spanish noble remembered from Nice. Mon Journal indexes: «Conquista (duc de la), 259» (t.2, 1873), «Conquista (duc de), 117» (t.3, 1874), «Conquista (duc de), 204» (t.14, 1881).
The one tagged paragraph is from Biarritz (1881-09-17, 093.0088): «Deux connaissances, le duc de la Conquista (du temps où maman allait dans le monde à Nice) et le petit Zurlo que nous trouvons au Palais Biarritz, un nouvel hôtel crée dans l'ancienne villa Eugénie.»
Identity uncertain
We are not sure who this is. «Duque de la Conquista» is a Spanish dukedom (with grandeza) created in 1735 for Pedro de Castro y Figueroa (en.wikipedia «Pedro de Castro, 1st Duke of la Conquista»; Real Academia de la Historia, DBE), but the sources found do not list the holder in 1873–81; the diary gives no name, and the Nice years in question (1873–74) are the time of «maman allait dans le monde». If you can identify this person, we would be glad to hear from you.
