infante
''Infante'' (, ; f. ''infanta''), also anglicised as Infant, is the title and rank given in the Iberian kingdoms of Spain (including the predecessor kingdoms of Aragon, Castile, Navarre and León), and Portugal, to the sons and daughters (''infantas'') of the king, sometimes with the exception of the heir apparent to the throne who usually bears a unique princely or ducal title.〔de Badts de Cugnac, Chantal. Coutant de Saisseval, Guy. ''Le Petit Gotha''. Nouvelle Imprimerie Laballery, Paris 2002, p. 303, 364-369, 398, 406, 740-742, 756-758 (French) ISBN 2-9507974-3-1〕 The wife of an ''infante'' was accorded the title of ''infanta'' if the marriage was dynastically approved (e.g. Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma), although since 1987 this is no longer automatically the case in Spain (e.g. Princess Anne d'Orléans).〔 Husbands of born ''infantas'' did not obtain the title of ''infante'' through marriage (unlike most hereditary titles of Spanish nobility), although occasionally elevated to that title ''de gracia'' ("by grace") at the sovereign's command.〔〔(The style of Infante / Infanta de España at Heraldica )〕
While the title belonged by right to all sons and daughters of a monarch (even when they ceased to be children of the reigning sovereign), it was also often accorded to sons-in-law and male-line grandchildren of the sovereign (e.g. Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria, Infante Pedro Carlos of Spain and Portugal), sometimes to other agnates of the ruling dynasty (e.g. Infante Enrique, Duke of Seville), and to female-line relatives of the monarch (e.g. Infante Sebastian of Portugal and Spain, Infante Alfonso de Orléans-Borbón).
==History==
Although the title is derived from the same root as "infant", in Romance languages the term may be more broadly interpreted to mean "child" (cfr. French ''enfants de France''), and historically indicated that the ''infante'' or ''infanta'' was the child of the nation's monarch.
Like the ''enfants de France'', all ''infantes'' in the various Iberian kingdoms were princes of the blood royal, although since 1987 the Spanish sovereign may confer the ''infantado'' upon a person (e.g., the spouse of an ''infante'' or ''infanta'') who is not of royal descent.
