Luis Morenés, 15th Count of Villada

Luis Morenés y de Arteaga, 15th Count of Villada, GE (29 November 1903 – 3 January 1987) was a Spanish nobleman and professional hunter.

[1] Born in San Sebastián, he was the eldest son of Luis Morenés y García-Alessón, 1st Marquess of Bassecourt, commander of the Legion of Honour, and his wife María de las Mercedes de Arteaga y Echagüe, 16th Marchioness of Argüeso, 14th Marchioness of Campoo, 17th Countess of Bañares and 14th Countess of Villada.

Being the latter keen on guns with short barrels, and using one of his damaged ones, they both created a prototype with the help of Victor Sarasqueta, Purveyor of Spain's Royal House.

In 1950, he was one of the pioneers that established the National Board of Trophy Hunting Homologation along with Franz Joseph von Seefried, the 11th Marquess of Valdueza and its first president, the 8th Count of Yebes.

He spent his last years in Madrid, restoring paintings in the mornings and enjoying bridge games in the afternoon with his friends at Puerta de Hierro.
