Jaime Argüelles Armada

Jaime Argüelles Armada was married to Margarita Salaverría Galárraga, the first woman to enter Spain’s diplomatic career. Their family lived through diplomatic assignments that included wartime London. Argüelles later became ambassador to the United States in 1970. The first name “Santiago” in the Spanish repertory is inconsistent with the American protocol record and family authority. 1, 2, 3
