 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.

These were the first times since Sebastian's 1859 marriage that the children of a male Infante by grace resided in Spain and needed some kind of rank, short of giving them a title (note that, in the case of the children of Sebastian, three out of five sons were made dukes).
