Asturian princes
Asturian Princes refers to the title "Prince of Asturias," historically associated with the heir apparent to the Spanish throne. Established in the Middle Ages, it honors the region of Asturias in northern Spain, known for its historical significance in the Reconquista, when Christian kingdoms fought to reclaim territory from Muslim rule. The title symbolizes a connection to Spain's heritage and cultural identity. In modern times, the current titleholder is often involved in public duties and represents the Spanish monarchy at official engagements. It is similar to titles like "Prince of Wales" in the UK.
