Duke of Talavera
Duke of Talavera de la Reina (Spanish: Duque de Talavera de la Reina), commonly known as Duke of Talavera, is a title of Spanish nobility that is accompanied by the dignity of Grandee of Spain. It was granted to María Luisa de Silva y Fernández de Henestrosa on 25 September 1914 by king Alfonso XIII as a result of her marriage to Infante Fernando of Bavaria. The king, who held great affection for her, made her Infanta of Spain in 1927, to date, the only exception of a member of a non-dynastic family becoming an Infante.[2]
