Marquess of Laula (Spanish; Castilian: Marqués de Laula) is a hereditary title in the Peerage of Spain, granted in 1543 by Charles I to Adán Centurión Ultramarino, Lieutenant General of the Galleys of Spain. It was bestowed along with the titles of "Marquess of Monte de Vay" and "Marquess of Vivola".^[2]

The 11th Marquess, Iñigo Moreno y de Arteaga, who is married to Princess Teresa, Duchess of Salerno, was deprived of the title by his first cousin Iñigo de Arteaga y Martín, 19th Duke of Infantado, in 2010. After a decade of a judiciary battle in court between the two, the Ministry of Justice ruled in favour of the latter, who ceded the title to his youngest daughter, Carla María de Arteaga, becoming the 13th Marchioness of Laula.^[3] The sentence was on the basis of absolute primogeniture.
