Jean de Suarez d'Aulan (November 20, 1900 – October 8, 1944) was a French aviator, auto racer, bobsledder, businessman and soldier, from a powerful French aristocratic family as well as one of the oldest Spanish aristocracies.
The aristocratic family became very powerful in Spain, to such a level they almost overthrew the king, Charles V. Although, as they were seen as a threat as one of the most powerful families in Spain, King Charles V of Spain chased the main branch of the family out of Spain to France where they were given the new titles of Marquis and Count by the French sovereign. From then on the family became loyal to France and became one of the country's most powerful aristocratic families.
The ‘de Suarez’ (of Suarez) name originates from the Spanish aristocracy which held the title Duke of Suarez and Duke of Feria, whilst the ‘d’Aulan’ (of Aulan) name originates from the French aristocracy which holds the titles of Marquis and Count.
