Vicente Sartorius y Cabeza de Vaca, 4th Marquis de Mariño (Madrid, 30 November 1931 – Ibiza, 22 July 2002) was a Spanish nobleman and Olympic bobsledder.

Bobsledding career

In the 1950s, Sartorius had a professional bobsled career. He competed in the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, finishing fourth in the two-man event and ninth in the four-man event.

Personal life

He was the second child and son of Carlos Sartorius y Díaz de Mendoza (1898–1966) and his wife María de Lourdes Cabeza de Vaca y Carvajal (born 1903). Through his father he was a great-grandson of Luis José Sartorius, 1st Count de San Luis, who was Prime Minister of Spain from 1853 to 1854, during the reign of Queen Isabella II.

After the death of his elder brother, Antonio Sartorius y Cabeza de Vaca, 3rd Marquis de Mariño, on 24 December 1976, he succeeded as the 4th Marquis de Mariño.

Sartorius married first Isabel Zorraquín y de Corral (1940–2009) from Argentina; they later divorced. Together they had three children, two daughters and one son:

  • Isabel Sartorius y Zorraquín (born in Madrid in 1965); after the divorce of her parents, when her mother remarried in 1978, she went to live with her in Lima, Peru. She later studied in Washington, DC. She had a relationship around 1989 to 1991 with Felipe, Prince of Asturias.[1] Isabel says that the relationship ended because both were very young, and he adds that Queen Sofía was always very supportive.

In them she refers to her relationship with her mother through the times when her mother was addicted to cocaine.
