Pedro José de Zulueta y Madariaga, 2nd Count of Torre Díaz (18 October 1809 – 3 March 1882) was a Spanish politician and aristocrat who became a banker in London.
He was the eldest son of Josefa Madariaga Ceballos (a daughter of Juana Josefa Ceballos) and Spanish merchant and deputy in the Spanish Cortes, Don Pedro Juan de Zulueta (1784–1855), who was created the 1st Count of Torre Díaz by Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1846.
[3] The de Zulueta family was an ancient Catholic Basque family from the Pamplona region of Northern Spain, who trace their genealogical ancestry back at the least by 700 years including participating in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, an important turning point in the Reconquista and the medieval history of Spain.
[5] After King Ferdinand VII's death in 1833, his father was back in favour in Spain and was made Count of Torre Díaz in 1846.
[10] Through his son Pedro Juan, he was a grandfather of Francisco Maria José de Zulueta (1878–1958), the Regius Professor of Civil Law at the University of Oxford from 1919 until 1948.
