Catholic Monarch
The Latin title ''Rex Catholicissimus'', Anglicized as ''Most Catholic King'' or ''Most Catholic Majesty'', was awarded by the Pope to the Sovereigns of Spain. It was first used by Pope Alexander VI in the papal bull ''Inter caetera'' in 1493. The best-known example of this title is the Catholic Monarchs (''Los Reyes Católicos''), used solely in reference to Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. Neither King Juan Carlos I nor Felipe VI have made use of the title, but they have not renounced it either.

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four verb conjuga ...

Fidei Defensor
Defender of the Faith ( la, Fidei Defensor or, specifically feminine, '; french: Défenseur de la Foi) is a phrase that has been used as part of the full style of many English, Scottish, and later British monarchs since the early 16th century.

Style Of The French Sovereign
The precise style of French sovereigns varied over the years. Currently, there is no French sovereign; three distinct traditions (the Legitimist, the Orleanist, and the Bonapartist) exist, each claiming different forms of title. The three styles laid claim to by pretenders to the French throne are: * Legitimist: "Most high, most potent and most excellent Prince, X, by the Grace of God, King of France and of Navarre, Most Christian Majesty." () * Orleanist: "X, by the Grace of God and by the constitutional law of the State, King of the French." () * Bonapartist: "X, By the Grace of God and the Constitutions of the Republic, Emperor of the French." () The Latin term was the official Latin title of the " King of the Franks" after the accession of the Carolingian Dynasty (sometimes taking the form of ); this title was used in official documents until French replaced Latin as the formal language of legal documents, and remained used on coins until the 18th century.
