Infantado is a term that refers to the historical practice in Spain where a younger son of a monarch or noble family was given the title of Infante. This title was often granted to those who were not the primary heir to the throne, allowing them to hold a noble status without the expectation of inheriting the crown. The Infantado also signifies the lands or territories that were granted to these Infantes. These regions were often governed by the Infante, who had certain privileges and responsibilities, contributing to the feudal system in medieval Spain.
