Count of Echauz is a Spanish hereditary peerage title which was created by King Charles III of Spain and Naples in 1784 and bestowed upon José Manuel de Acedo y Jiménez de Loyola, heir of the Majorat of Loyola, Acedo and Lord of Riocavado.[2]
History
The Counts of Echauz are a branch of the Viscounts of Baigorri. The title was granted around 1033, in the High Middle Ages, by King Sancho III of Pamplona.[5]
The name of the peerage refers to Echauz Castle, in the province of Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, Lower Navarre, which was part of the Kingdom of Navarre, alongside the Bay of Biscay between present-day Spain and France.
