Duke of Talavera de la Reina (Spanish: Duque de Talavera de la Reina), commonly known as Duke of Talavera, is a hereditary title of Spanish nobility, accompanied by the dignity of Grandee. 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, Prince of Bavaria. The king, who held great affection for her after taking care of his nephews, made her Infanta of Spain on 17 May 1927, to date, the only exception of a member of a non-dynastic family becoming an Infante.
