The Final Years
After the fall of the Republic, Queipo de Llano was promoted to lieutenant general. His relations with Franco remained poor on the whole. He did not like Franco and was an anti-monarchist republican (albeit an authoritarian one). He did not, however, challenge Franco's leadership, and Franco was shrewd enough to secure Queipo's loyalty with titles and other benefits. Queipo de Llano died at his country estate near Seville in March, 1951.
His relatives were:
- Gonzalo Queipo de Llano y Martí, 2nd Marquess of Queipo de Llano (Madrid since 1951, 26 May 1912 - ), married to María de los Angeles Mencos y Armero (Sevilla, 25 September 1920 -), daughter of Alberto Mencos y Sánjuan, 8th Count of el Fresno and of la Fuente (Sevilla, 11 December 1879 - ?) and wife (m. Sevilla, 8 December 1914) María de la Concepción Armero Castrillo of the Marquesses of el Nervión, by whom he had three children:
- Gonzalo Queipo de Llano y Mencos (b. Sevilla, 14 July 1951), 3rd Marquess now?.
- Alberto Queipo de Llano y Mencos (b. Sevilla, 27 January 1953)
- María de los Angeles Queipo de Llano y Mencos (b. Sevilla, 16 January 1954)
- Ernestina Queipo de Llano y Martí (d. Madrid, 1 July 2001), married to Niceto Alcalá-Zamora y Castillo (1906–1985), ironically the son of one of his father's old political adversaries Niceto Alcalá-Zamora y Torres, 122nd Prime Minister of Spain and President of Spain.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Where has it all gone? I remember that twenty years ago there were geese and cranes and ducks and grouse here, clouds of them!... And there are far fewer animals. Wolf and fox are rare, brother, not to mention bears or mink. There used even to be moose!”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
