Don Juan Manuel

He inherited from his father the great Lordship of Villena, receiving the titles of Lord, Duke and lastly Prince of Villena.

Juan Manuel often refers to himself in his books as "Don Juan, son of infante don Manuel". But some 19th and early 20th century scholars started calling him infante, a title he did not possess, as in medieval Castile only the sons of kings were called infa ...
