He led Spanish troops during the French Revolutionary Wars.

Since April 1787, when his father, the 8th Duke, Pedro Zoilo Téllez Girón y de Guzmán, (27 June 1728 - 1 April 1787), died was a co-founder of a society for the promotion of national cultural consciousness, known as Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, (Madrid branch). His mother was really named María Vicenta Tellez-Girón (born 28 July 1735 - died ????), but even so he is known as a Pacheco, perhaps because of the extensive family comnnections between Téllez - Girón's and Pacheco's since the 15th century.

In 1772, he married María Josefa Pimentel, 12th Countess-Duchess of Benavente. She was 15th Countess of Benavente, Grandee of Spain, 13th Duchess of Béjar, Duchess of Arcos, Duchess of Gandía and Duchess of Monteagudo, Princess of Esquilache and Marquise of Lombay, whose possessions and noble titles were absorbed thereto by the Osuna family.
