on BBC Two England

with Robert Lacey
The fifth of six films on the noble families of Europe
Svain- The Duchess of Medinaceli
Nine times a duchess, 18 times a marchioness, 19 times a countess, four times a viscountess - and 14 times a grandee of Spain; she owns 90 castles-or maybe 100, her son and heir considers two hours in the office to constitute a hard day's work; and she maintains her lifestyle on the profits of plastic leather.
Robert Lacey enters the strange world of The Duchess of Medina-cell, and visits just a few of her exotic and beautiful homes.
