I really like that you do videos on the illegitimate children too. It's nice to learn about their lives.
Glad you enjoyed this video !!
Yes! Absolutely amazing! Finally some form of English video on the subject of Louis-Auguste de Bourbon. Wonderful editing, superb dialogue, and all around great video. Well done.
Thank you for your lovely compliment, so glad you enjoyed the video !
@@TheKingsofFrance Montespan's first child has to be Louis Cesar Count of Vexan am I correct (as far as I know Louis Auguste had one leg shorter than the other and he went on an incognito road trip in order to undergo rehabilitation in the Perennials and in Antwerp were according to Mentnon everyone were impressed by him by the way in one of her letters Liselotte expressed doubt that probably Louis Auguste was not fathered by Louis XIV she said she is sure about Louis Alexander but not about Louis Auguste (I myself have received surgery on my left Achilles tendon so I'd allways like him the most out of all of the French royal bastards I understand what he went through)
The son of Le Grand Conde Hanry Jules he was Louis Auguste's comander... that was before Hanry Jules went crazy am I correct
@@plamenivanov92 Thanks so much for elaborating further on the subject, it's very interesting to read this !
@@TheKingsofFrance my pleasure but what is next
I'm so glad you made this video. I have been wanting to know more about the Duke of Maine since I watched your video about his wife, Louise de Bourbon. Thank you so much for this.
You're very welcome Vishnu !!!
You have such a lovely voice. I find it therapeutic. If I ever seize control and make myself Emperor I will give you a job as my bedtime reader.
It's good to hear that I have options if this TH-cam thing doesn't work out for me haha ! Thanks for watching !
I enjoy the interesting way you show the portraits of the Royal you discuss😄
Thank you Amy, glad you enjoy the portraits !
Fantastic!! He had a very interesting relationship with his mother, Montespan. Merci 🌸

Thank you David. I'm glad for, and appreciative of each viewer. As I should be !! Happy to hear you find my content up to par !
Excellent! As always. Goodness, Montespan must have been perpetually pregnant! Thank you again. 🇨🇦🍁
Anticonception wasn't really an option back then, and I suppose she didn't become Maîtresse en titre for nothing haha! Thank you for watching !!!
Great video. With thanks from Missouri.
Thank you Jane, glad you watched again !
WOW,Louis Auguste Was Louis XIV's FAVORITE Son,Even Over His HEIR,Louis,The Grand Dauphin,This History About Louis XIV'S Illegitimate Children Is So Fascinating!!! ❤💙❤💙👑
Glad you liked the video Gregory !
Understandable Louis Auguste was brilliant Le Grand Dauphin on the other hand was like his mother...... a bit well... slow
He was so beloved by Madame de Maintenon!
He was raised by her, I feel she was a great surrogate mother to the children of the Montespan ! Thank you for watching
@@TheKingsofFrance There is an anecdote where Madame de Maintenon told the king one of the children died and she wept and wept as she loved them. The king was also deeply affected but the Montespan said to not worry, because she could always give him another child.
Thank you, I’m learning so much.
Thank you for watching again Micael !!
This is gonna help me on my project, thank you
Really glad I could be of help !
Hi there! Your channel is amazing and I never get tired of watching these bios. Your videos bring me back to those time for at least a couple of minutes.
Have you considered making an intro to your videos? I highly recommend it, it'll look amazing. Thanks
I have considered it, but for now I've decided against it. Some people don't really enjoy the 'fluff' but want to immediately get into the content, or they'll leave the video... Hence I haven't, as I still hope to attract new viewers and subscriber that'll stick around... I've thought of adding a small entry screen as you can see on my newly constructed introduction video (th-cam.com/video/Fs_IcaCa6WM/w-d-xo.html)... the blue screen with the logo appearing, but am not sure yet about that... Might try it out sometime to see the response of viewers...
@@TheKingsofFrance Well, if you're interested, what you can do si starting with a brief overview of the person indeed and then adding a short intro of no more than a couple of seconds (even less than 10 secs).
@@Kingpowch Hm I might try that, see how it looks and feels. Thank you for putting this on the table !
@@TheKingsofFrance Of course, you can do whatever you feel most comfortable with
I think a short opening will look amazing
@@Kingpowch i am definitely gonna play around with it all …
Apparently Louis and myself share the same taste Louis Auguste was his favorite son and Marie Anne was his favorite daughter same goes for me they are my favorites too
Plotting against the regent and probably against the French crown Louis Auguste was a traitor saved by his rank from execution. Thank your for focusing on one of the most interesting characters of that era.
You're welcome !
Other than his 3 kids ho survived infancy there are 3 others ho died in the cradle Mademoiselle de Dombas ho lived for 4 days 11-15 September 1694 Louis Constantine de Bourbon Prince de Dombas (17 November 1695 - 28 September 1698) Charles de Bourbon Duke de Aumale (31.03 1704- September 1708)

Awesome! I love learning about the illegitimate kids of royalty; they have such an ambiguous position, & often end up being very important. I _don't_ love how an illegitimate son, whose very existence was due to what they believed was a serious sin, could at least be _considered_ for the throne, but a legitimate daughter inheriting was absolutely unthinkable. Given I've just been reading about Eleanor of Aquitaine, who ruled better than many men, I can only say it's as self-defeating as it is sexist.
In France the succession was arranged via the Salic Law of succession, which indeed excluded women. If one thinks about it, England was a far more progressive nation for its time. (although Henri VIII did try whatever he could to avoid a woman to sit on the throne obviously).
Great work love from UK
Love from Belgium right back at you hun !
@@TheKingsofFrance if thay regarded Auguste and Alexander as bastards than why did Monseiur Le Prince ever agree to the marriage whit Louise Benedicte
My favorite royal bastard along with his brother Louis Vermandois and his nephew Louis Charles d'Saint Albin child of Phillippe II De Orléan and Florance Pelegrinne
After his son Louis Auguste II was killed and his other son Louis Charles died childless his fortune was inherited by Louis Jean Marie de Bourbon Le Duc de Penthievre son of Louis Alexander
as far as i know Louis Aguste was a comander of the swiss royal guards Louis XIV himself gave him this position
Louis Auguste inherited the title Prince de Dombas from La Grand Mademoiselle he later gave it to his son Louis Auguste II
Excellent!
Thank you for watching again Eric! Have a good weekend !
C'est magnifique, je pense que vous êtes formidable!
Merci
his oldest son Louis Auguste II was killed in a duel and his fortune was inherited by his brother Louis Charles Count of Eu
Louis Auguste prince des Dombes died of a disease in 1755. And it was he who killed a man in a duel : the marquis de Coigny, in 1748 🙂
@@heliedecastanet1882 "Louis-Auguste died on 1 October 1755, at the age of fifty-five, in a duel at Fontainebleau. His younger brother, Louis Charles, was his only heir." An extract from Wikipedia Louis Auguste II was the victim. He was killed in a duel.
@@plamenivanov92 Don't read the Wikipedia page in English, because it is totally wrong 🙂 Go to the French page 😉 : "Il décède d’une attaque d’apoplexie à Fontainebleau et est inhumé dans la crypte de la collégiale Notre-Dame d'Eu. Ses biens et titres reviennent à son frère Louis-Charles" (translation : "He died of a stroke at Fontainebleau and was buried in the crypt of the Notre-Dame d'Eu collegiate church. His property and titles go to his brother Louis-Charles").
I don't know who wrote the English article… The victim of the duel was the marquis de Coigny, and the duel took place in 1748.
Have a good day !
@@heliedecastanet1882 Likewise! Thanks for getting me some more insight!
Mademoiselle du Maine was named after Louis Auguste's sister Louise Françoise
He had his mother's furniture thrown out the Windows to prevent her from returning! That's cruel and what brought on the hatred of his mother by him? Was it the affair of the poisons? Thanks for another great video Madame.🙂💙
I doubt he hated her, but I think he didn't have a close bond with her as he was raised mostly by De Maintenon. Thank you for watching.
@@TheKingsofFrance Thanks for a great video and your response.I don't like my mother ,but wouldn't do that to her, LoL hahaha 😆😂
@@jacquesrenou2850 Lol I'm sure she's glad to read that haha !
Two of my favorite royal bastards even have almost the same hair style Louis Auguste and Charles Beauclerk
I found out somewhere that Louise Françoise the first daughter of Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan was married to Louis III De Bourbon Conde son of Monseiur Le Prince
Louise Françoise Mademoiselle du Maine's fortune was inherited by Elisabeth Alexandrine de Bourbon granddaughter of Monseiur Le Prince (Hanry III Jules) daughter of Louis III Hanry and Louise Françoise the oldest of Montespan's girls
Kings’ wills really just meant nothing didn’t they 😂
Not much indeed, they were easily overruled ! Thank you for watching !
So looks like the king'bastards are as follows from La Valierre 1 Marie Anne 2 Louis and from Montespan 1 Louis Cesar 2 Louis Auguste 3 Louis Françoise 4 Françoise Marie 5 Louis Alexander he had other kids from La Valierre but I don't know their names as they died in infancy
Monseiur Le Prince that's Hanry III Jules the son of Le Grand Conde and Claire Clemance de Maille Breze
I love him on the paintings from 0:46 0:51 and 1:16 he looks like a doll
@A W he was photogenic I will give him that
@A W interesting but I will need your your help whit something one of Monseiur Le Regent (Philippe II De Orléan)'s extramarital affairs was whit Marie Louise Madalenne Victoire La Belle de la brassiere a lady in waiting to Liselotte they had a son Jean-Phillippe François de Orléans but what does La Belle de la brassiere mean exactly (I think it's something among the likes of "The beauty of the restaurant" or something like that)
@A W all I know is that she was a lady-in-waiting to Liselotte and that she got dismissed after she became pregnant whit Phillippe II's child after that she gave birth to a boy Jean-Philippe François de Orléan
@A W I did not know that thanks
And one more thing about Liselotte I love how she calls Charles Du Berry the youngest son of Le Grand Dauphin she called him Berry Bon Coeur (Berry Good Hearth)
Ik ben echt dol op jou video's!
Wat lief, dank je wel !!!
when he was killed Louis August II was 55 years old
As far as I know they allowed Louis Auguste to chose one of Monseiur Le Prince's daughters and marrie her he chose Louise Benedicte because she was the tallest out of her sisters
@A W thanks for the info I admit I did not know that
@A W she wrote those letters to Sofie of the Palatinate sister of her father and a mother figure to Liselotte am I correct
@A W as far as I know they devorced
@A W in any event at least Liselotte had a good mother figure her aunt Sophie and let's not forget Liselotte herself was amazing there is only one thing I don't like about her she was an enemy of Louis Auguste and her son Phillippe II enhereted that hatred
@A W I doubt Louis Auguste would even stand against Phillippe if not for Louise Benedicte
If the houses of Orléans and Conde hated him why would Monseiur Le Prince agree to a marriage between Louis Auguste and Louise Benedicte
Monsieur le Prince agreed to this marriage because no one dared to oppose Louis XIV's will. And the prince de Condé had a lot to atone for… (the "Fronde")
If the Bourbons especially Louis XIV had not concentrated on these fruitless European Wars and instead concentrated on reinforcing Quebec and Louisbourg Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada and Acadia maybe all of North America would be a French nation.
Thanks for sharing this thought with us, you're probably right !
So I take it Louis Cesar de Vexan was legitimized post mortem
Mmmm Vivaldi)
Thank you for watching and commenting !
when Anne-Marie de Orlean the daughter of Monsieur Philippe and Henriette Anne Stuart maried Victor Amadeus II of Savoy it was Louis Auguste ho was the proxy for Victor Amadeus II
Another amazing video… what an awful son lol!
He didn't share much of a bond with his mother, but more so with De Maintenon since she raised him !
@@TheKingsofFrance he is wonderful if you ask me
I hate Montespan and her daughters but I love her 3 boys Cesar Auguste and Alexander still Auguste is my favorite because I understand his pain I myself have a disability (my left Achilles tendon is shorter and I had to undergo surgery and so I myself have a limp in my left leg since birth)
First! 😃
Thank you for your enthusiasm 😀 !
Even though François Louis de Conti was LGBT and a member of The Holy Brotherhood of the Glorious Pederasts he was married to Louise Dianne the youngest daughter of Louis Auguste's arch enemy Phillippe II De Orléan (Louise Dianne is one of my favorite ladies of that court along whit La Palatine Louise Benedicte and Marie Anne De La Valierre's daughter)
Was he close to his half siblings I know he was not close to Le Grand Dauphin but was he in good relations whit Louis Vermandois and Marie Anne and his 2 sisters
@A W I myself love them both Louis Auguste and Louis Vermandois but I'd allways have a soft spot for Louis Auguste
@A W knowing Louis XIV's mindset I'm curious wasn't he at least a bit disappointed about the fact that his son was an invalid I'm trying to say Louis Auguste was disabled and still he was his favorite so apparently he was more tolarent of Louis Auguste's disability than Vermandois's homosexualality actually his disability is one of the reasons I have a soft spot for Louis Auguste I understand him because I myself have a slight limp in my left leg
1st Thanks for the pep talk!!! and 2nd I did not even knew what exactly killed Vexin and I found out from you that Françoise Marie had those problems so thanks for the additional info too bad we don't have more portraits of Louis Cesar
@A W allways a pleasure but there is one thing I don't get if the houses of Orléans and Conde view Montespan's kids as bastards than why did Monseiur Le Prince ever agree to the marriage between Louis Auguste and Louise Benedicte
@A Wfor the sake of political benefits got it
