Pedro Pidal, 1st Marquess of Villaviciosa de Asturias

Pidal took second place in pigeon shooting at the 1900 Summer Olympics, an event now considered unofficial (the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not).[2] As a politician, he was a member of parliament for Belmonte de Miranda and Luarca, and was made senator for life in 1914.[3]

Early life edit

He was born in Somió as the first child of 12, son of Alejandro Pidal, who was President of the Congress of Deputies, Minister of Development and Director of the Royal Spanish Academy. His mother was Ignacia Bernaldo de Quirós, the daughter of the 7th Marquess of Campo Sagrado.[3]

Hunting edit

During his hunting career, he bagged five Cantabrian brown bears, a species he was one of the biggest experts in. Pidal was predominantly a mountain hunter, and enjoyed stalking rebecos and sarrios as well.

He is one of only four who have hunted all big-game species of the Spanish fauna (including the Iberian lynx and bear), the other three being the 11th Marquess of Valdueza, Carlos Rein and Infanta Alicia of Spain.[4]

He died in Gijón on 17 November 1941.[5]

Issue edit

On 10 October 1892, he married Jacqueline Guilhou, the daughter of Jean Antoine Numa Guilhou, a prominent French businessman. The ceremony took place at the chapel of the Mieres steel factory. They had five children:

  • María Pidal y Guilhou
  • Santiago Pidal y Guilhou, 2nd Marquess of Villaviciosa de Asturias (1894-1962)
  • Pedro Pidal y Guilhou
  • Alejandro Pidal y Guilhou
  • Enrique Pidal y Guilhou
