ORIGIN The title of Prince of Girona comes from the Crown Of Aragon , more precisely when in the year 1351 , the king Pere IV Of Aragon nominated its successor and conceded him the title of Duke of Girona , which embraced territories of the Counties Of Girona , Besalú , Empúries and Osona . On the first part I of the les Constitucions i Altres Drets de Cathalunya, section '''Genealogia dels Reys d'Aragó i Comtes de Barcelona''', speaks about Joan I Of Aragon genealogy, son of Pere III Of Aragon , saing this and Violant, had a son named ''Jaume'', 'lo qual intitularen Delphi de Girona'. On 19 February 1416 , the king Ferdinand I Of Aragon considered the title of duke was insufficient, and exalted it erecting the Principality Of Girona . CURRENT SITUATION Since 21 April 1990 , this title is held by Felipe, Prince Of Asturias , therefore the first Bourbon to hold the title of Prince of Girona, on assuming it, without any official ceremony of investiture, who does not use it at all. Formerly no other Bourbon had ever held, nor even used this title. RELATED PAGES EXTERNAL LINKS |
