The Dukedom of Mola (Spanish: Ducado de Mola) was a hereditary title in the Spanish nobility. The dukedom was posthumously bestowed on General Emilio Mola, one of the leaders of the revolt coup of July 1936 that started the Spanish Civil War, by General Francisco Franco as head of the Spanish State.[1]
It was abolished in October 2022, under the purview of the Law of Democratic Memory.[2]
