'Margravine' is exactly right. There are several streets in Hammersmith named 'Margravine x' as the last Margravine of Brandenburg-Anspach-Bayreuth, Elizabeth, lived in the area. On one of these streets lived, or lives, Kishwer Falkner (http://www.kishwerfalkner.org.uk/), who when made a life peer took the title 'Baroness Falkner of Margravine' which seems slightly ludicrous to me, as 'Margravine' had never been a place name until then.
I think that the king of Spain or the king of Portugal was monarch 'of unknown lands beyond the western sea', which is ambitiously expansive.
