Cipriano de Palafox y Portocarrero, 8th Count of Montijo, GE, LH (15 September 1784 – 15 March 1839), was a Spanish nobleman, politician and army officer. He was the father-in-law of Napoleon III.

Life and career

Pro-French in his outlook, he fought for Joseph Bonaparte while the latter was king of Spain, losing an eye in battle and being honoured in Paris by Joseph's brother Napoleon I.

After the death of his elder brother, Eugenio, he inherited the countship of Montijo and the lordship (señorío) of Moguer. He befriended the famous French writer Prosper Mérimée during the latter's time in Spain.

From 1837 to 1838, he served as senator for the province of Badajoz and was also a Freemason.

Marriage and issue

On 15 December 1817, he married María Manuela Kirkpatrick y de Grevignée.

They had two daughters:

  1. María Francisca de Sales "Paca" de Palafox Portocarrero y Kirkpatrick, who became Duchess of Alba by marriage to Jacobo Fitz-James Stuart, 15th Duke of Alba
  2. María Eugenia Ignacia Agustina de Palafox Portocarrero y Kirkpatrick, who married Napoleon III in 1853 and became Empress consort of the French
