What it is Filled
Duke of the Infantado is a hereditary Spanish title of nobility, first granted in 1475 to Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, and denotes a dignity held by successive people rather than one individual.
In scope
- Canonical title and documented Spanish and English variants
- Creation and subsequent instruments affecting the title
- Holder relationships with dates and evidential qualifications
- Succession claims, recognition events and disputes
- Association with Grandeza de España and documented forms of address
Out of scope

- Other noble titles held by the same person
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to identify the Spanish hereditary title Duke of the Infantado, distinguish it from its holders, and assess succession and usage claims against dated evidence.
Distinguishing features Filled
- The referent persists across changes of holder; an individual duke or duchess has a separate personal identity.
- An identifying document must name the Infantado title specifically; a matching surname or another title held by the same person is insufficient.
- The masculine registry label does not restrict holder identity to men: a 2018 order names Almudena de Arteaga y del Alcázar as the beneficiary of a succession instrument. [BOE succession order](https://www.boe.es/diario_boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2018-15717)
- A reference to the Infantado palace, family or portrait requires an explicit relationship to this title rather than automatic identity matching.
- Genealogical descent, an application for succession and an official recognition instrument are distinguishable evidence states.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
