Orden de las Damas Nobles de la Reina María Luisa

English: The Royal Order of Noble Ladies of Queen Maria Luisa is an Order created by King Charles IV of Spain by royal decree in April 21, 1792 at the request of his wife Queen Maria Luisa of Parma, to have a way to reward noble women who distinguished themselves for their services and talents, so it was established as a distinction reserved only for women. Currently, and according to the statutes, there is a single category of Noble Lady, limited to 30 members except on the express will of the monarch. Since the resignation of Don Juan de Borbón, Count of Barcelona to his dynastic rights on May 14, 1977, during the reign of Juan Carlos I, there have been no new appointments so that, although it formally remains in effect, it can be considered that this order is de facto extinct.

Español: La Real Orden de Damas Nobles de la Reina María Luisa es una orden española creada por el rey Carlos IV de España mediante un Real Decreto de 21 de abril de 1792 a instancias de su esposa, la reina María Luisa de Parma, a fin de que esta pudiera recompensar a las mujeres nobles que se distinguieran por sus servicios o cualidades, por lo que se trata de una distinción reservada únicamente a mujeres. En la actualidad y en virtud de los estatutos vigentes se conserva una única categoría: Dama Noble y el número permanece limitado a 30 titulares, salvo voluntad expresa de los reyes. Después de la renuncia de don Juan de Borbón a sus derechos dinásticos el 14 de mayo de 1977, durante todo el reinado de Juan Carlos I, no se han producido nuevos nombramientos por lo que aunque formalmente se mantiene en vigor puede considerarse que esta orden se encuentra extinguida de facto.
