 Infantes de España
Various texts (see the decrees of 30 Nov 1795, 28 Nov 1823, 10 Aug 1851) refer to a desire by Carlos III, stated in turn by Carlos IV, Fernando VII and Isabel II, that grandchildren of kings should be styled Infantes.
His eldest son and heir Luis or Lodovico I (1773-1803) happened to marry Maria Luisa (1782-1824), daughter of Cárlos IV of Spain and was thus made Infante as spouse at the time of their marriage on 25 Aug 1795.
We then come to the latter's son and successor (in 1848) Fernando Cárlos or Carlo III (1823-54) who was made Infante in 1852 with no precise motivation stated in the decree.

 Spring/Summer 2004 FIDELIO Magazine
The feature on Spain's Carlos III reports on the extraordinary history of this king, whose 1759-88 reign was a reflection of the same Leibnizian influences that gave birth to the United States.
Carlos III implemented Leibnizian economic and educational reforms, including the creation of a National Bank, banished the Grand Inquisitor from Madrid, expelled the Jesuits from Spain and its possessions, supported the American Revolution, and laid the basis for the later independence of the nations of Ibero-America.
Contrary to the Synarchists, the positive cultural identity of Ibero-America is not “Hispanidad”—a concoction based on an anti-Semitic, ultramontane, feudalist version of Catholicism— but rather the legacy of Carlos III, a community of principled commitment to the General Welfare as enshrined in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution.
