Creation
On April 30, 1992, King Juan Carlos signed the following royal decree:[1]
After a long and distinguished career of military and civil service to the State, Don Sabino Fernández Campo was called to join My House, first as Secretary-General and later as its Head. In both positions, he has assisted me at all times with keen talent, prudent judgment, loyal advice, and boundless generosity in the tasks I have been entrusted with throughout a momentous period in the history of Spain, during which the political transition that culminated in the establishment of democracy and the parliamentary monarchy was successfully completed, within the framework of the Constitution. Therefore, wishing to show him My Royal appreciation for his invaluable services,
I grant Don Sabino Fernández Campo the title of Count of Latores, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee, for himself and his successors, in accordance with Spanish nobility legislation.
— JUAN CARLOS R., Royal Decree n.º 1176 of 11 July 2008.
