Dukedoms Of Spain
This is a list of the 149 present and extant royal and non-royal dukes in the peerage of the Kingdom of Spain. The oldest six titles – created between 1380 and 1476 – were Duke of Medina Sidonia (1380), Duke of Alburquerque (1464), Duke of Segorbe (1469), Duke of Alba (1472), Duke of Escalona (1472), and Duke of Infantado (1475). Spanish dukes have precedence over other ranks of Spanish nobility, nowadays all holding the court rank of '' Grande de España'', ''i.e.'' Grandee of the Realm. The only exception to this is the Dukedom of Fernandina, which due to a series of complex rehabilitation processes was never recognised with such title.Salazar y Acha, Jaime de, ''Los grandes de España (siglos XV-XXI)'', Ediciones Hidalguía (Madrid, 2012), p. 474 Dukes in the peerage of Spain See also *Spanish nobility *Grandee of Spain Grandee (; es, Grande de España, ) is an official royal and noble ranks, aristocratic title conferred on some Spanish nobility.

Television In Kosovo
Television in Kosovo was first introduced in 1974. The Radio Television of Pristina was the first Albanian-speaking broadcaster in Kosovo, founded in 1974 following Radio Pristina's foundation in 1945. It was forcefully shut down in 1990 by the Yugoslavian government, forbidding the flow of information through Kosovan airwaves during the Kosovo War. In wartime, the information blackout was covered by Radio 21 (in exile via internet radio and the BBC World Service) and Koha Ditore (via its newspaper and an English-language website), while television was under the sole ownership of the Radio Television of Serbia. In 1999, the Radio Television of Pristina reopened and was transformed into the Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK), thanks to help from foreign countries. Besides RTK, the end of the war brought along the creation of national television networks such as Kohavision (a sister to Koha Ditore), RTV21 (a sister to Radio 21), and many others. In the mid-2000s, RTK partnered wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
