The Royal Order of Noble Ladies of Queen Maria Luisa is an Order created by King Charles IV of Spain by royal decree on April 21, 1792, at the request of his wife, Queen Maria Luisa, to reward noble women who distinguished themselves for their services and talents. As such, it was established as an honour reserved only for women.

List Of The Dames Of The Order Of Queen Maria Luisa
Ladies who have belonged throughout history to the Order of the Noble Ladies of Queen Maria Luisa are listed here. Currently and under the statutes in effect a single category is preserved, "Noble Lady", and the number remains limited to 30 holders, unless exceeded by the express will of the king. After Infante Juan of Spain, Count of Barcelona resigned his dynastic rights on 14 May 1977, during reigns of Juan Carlos I and Felipe VI no appointments have been made to the order, so although it formally remains in force, it can be considered that this order is dormant.
