Prince of the Peace (Spanish: Príncipe de la Paz) was a life title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1795 by Charles IV to Manuel Godoy, his favourite and Secretary of State. The title is a reference to the Peace of Basel which Godoy successfully managed, putting an end to the War of the Pyrenees in July 1795.[1]
