All were spanish infantes and styled as dukes.
He was Duke of Talavera but, as I have said many times, Spanish Infantes and Infantas are never styled as Duke and Duchess, even if they have been granted a ducal title. But , contrary to Elena And Cristina, or Jaime , the ducal title was not granted to the royal, but to the consort. And when the Duchess was created Infanta in 1927, she ceased to be styled as Duchess of Talavera de la Reina.
So, he was "only" Prince of Baviera and Infante of Spain.
Not even Duke Consorte nor Dowager Duke of Talavera after his 2nd wife, correct ?
Although I have also read about it in several books, there is no document that he was granted it.
And the Almanach de Gotha makes no mention of that title in his entry.
Found this article where Infante Fernando de Baviera allegedelly was created Duke of Cádiz by Alfonso XIII already in exile.
No date is mentioned.

But on Fernando's page, it is said that he asked A.XIII the duke of Cadiz title but the king refused it.

I've never heard Fernando being styled Dk of Cadiz.
Which one is correct ?
