Everything about Prince Of Girona totally explained
Origin
The title of
Prince of Girona is one of the titles given to the crown prince of the
Aragon Crown. Its origins lie in the nomination in 1351 by king
Peter IV of Aragon of his successor, to whom he conceded the title of Duke of
Girona; the title embraced territories of the
counties of Girona,
Besalú,
Empúries and
Osona.
In part I of the
Constitucions i Altres Drets de Cathalunya, the section headed
Genealogia dels Reys d'Aragó i Comtes de Barcelona, speaks of the genealogy of
John I of Aragon, son of Peter IV, saying that John and Violant had a son named
James, 'lo qual intitularen Delphi de Girona'.
On
19 February 1416,
Ferdinand I of Aragon, considering the title of duke insufficient, raised it to the rank of
Principality of Girona. So, the heir of the Crown of Aragon was Prince of Girona,
Duke of Montblanc,
Count of Cervera and
Lord of Balaguer.
Current situation
Since
21 April 1990, this title has been revived for
Felipe of Bourbon, Prince of Asturias, who therefore became the first member of the
Spanish house of Bourbon to hold the title of Prince of Girona. The Prince assumed the title without any official ceremony of investiture.
