INFANTE

Infante

Infante, also anglicised as Infant, is the title and rank given in the Iberian kingdoms of Spain, and Portugal, to the sons and daughters of the king, sometimes with the exception of the heir apparent to the throne who usually bears a unique princely or ducal title. The wife of an infante was accorded the title of infanta if the marriage was dynastically approved, although since 1987 this is no longer automatically the case in Spain . Husbands of born infantas did not obtain the title of infante through marriage, although occasionally elevated to that title de gracia at the sovereign's command.
