Biography
O'Donnell was born on 1 June 1834 in Valencia.[1]
The Duke was the son of Carlos María O'Donnell y Joris, eldest brother of General Leopoldo O'Donnell, 1st Duke of Tetuan (several times Prime Minister of Spain), and Maria del Mar Álvarez de Abreu y Rodríguez de Albuerne, 8th Marquesa of Altamira and the granddaughter of Don Manuel Rodriguez de Albuerne y Pérez de Tagle, 5th Marquis of Altamira. In 1867 after his uncle's death, he inherited all his titles and fortune.[1][2][3]
O'Donnell served as Minister of Foreign Affairs four times: between 16 May 1879 and 7 December 1879, 5 June 1890 to 11 December 1892, 23 March 1895 to 19 January 1896 and 5 March 1896 to 4 October 1897. During his tenure, he would attempt to push against the Monroe Doctrine in the face of the United States pressuring to grant autonomy for Spanish Cuba.[4]
O'Donnell died on 9 February 1903.[5]
