under the name La Flor de Marquez in 1936. It was relaunched in
Spain under the present name Rafael Gonzalez and became a highly
popular brand on the Spanish market. Rafael Gonzalez is also
reputed to have introduced the Lonsdale category, in honour of Hugh Cecil
Lowther, the fifth Earl of Lonsdale.
