Duke of Nochera

Duke of Nochera (Spanish: Duque de Nochera; Italian: Duca di Nocera) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee and granted in 1656 by Philip IV to Francisco de Moura Corterreal, Viceroy of Sardinia and Catalonia and governor of the Spanish Netherlands.[2][3]

The title had been created previously in 1521 by Charles I, and its last holder had been Francesco Maria Domenico Carafa, who at his death left no descendants. It was subsequently created for a second time in 1659 when it was bestowed upon General Moura.

At the death with no descendants of the 8th Duke in 1824, the dukedom became extinct until it was rehabilitated by Alfonso XIII in 1922, on behalf of Alfonso Falcó, great-grandson of the 7th Duke.

The title makes reference to the town of Nocera Inferiore, in the province of Salerno, Italy.
