- Louis Of Burgundy, Father Of Louis XV : Louis of France (1682, Château de Versailles - 1712, Marly), Duke of Burgundy, was the son of Louis of France (known as the Grand Dauphin) and Marie-Anne of Bavaria. His maternal grandparents were Ferdinand-Marie, Elector of Bavaria, and Henriette-Adélaïde of Savoy, daughter of Victor-Amédée I, Duke of Savoy. He was second in line to his paternal grandfather Louis XIV but died before Louis XIV did. His youngest son became King Louis XV in 1715.

Fascinating!! My favorite topic (Versailles, Sun King and his heir!!) ⚜️💜
Thank you, Kings of France!
Thank you so much for watching again !
Never knew of this! Thank you. It's so fascinating that one could hope the Burgundian Faction should've succeeded and might've lessened political tensions and the chances of the later Revolution.
You're welcome, thank YOU for watching again, it's nice to see familiar names return to my channel !
Not sure : the faction around the duc de Bourgogne was highly conservative and retrograde. They were inspired by Fénelon, who wanted the old system of government back (return of the princes in every department and government councils, return of the most powerful lords at the head of the different regions of France, etc…), based on the old medieval system. it would have been a catastrophe.
I so look forward to these quick snippets of amazing history, thank you so much for all the hard work you do. 🥰
That's such a kind comment Cari, it is my pleasure ! I'm having so much fun making these videos, and I'm so happy so many people like them.
Another great video. I also wonder if anything would have been different had Louis of Burgundy not died. Would there still had been a revolution?
One can only wonder... Thank you for watching.
Thank you for the great videos! Hopefully you also do a video about Charles Maurice Talleyrand.
I'll add him to the list ! Thank you for watching and commenting !
A very interesting character indeed:-) You might know this incredibly powerful line from Chateaubriand, describing Talleyrand passing by with the help of Fouché, as he walked with difficulty: “Vice, on the arm of crime, silently entered the room”.
The Kings Of France Is A Fascinating Video Series,I Am A Fan Of History!!! You're Videos Are Magnifique!!! 😍🥰🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so much for your kind words Gregory, I really appreciate them !
Wow I wonder if he didn't pass, and the Burgundy faction rose to power, would there still have been a revolution? If things went back to a more local rule and more people had power, you could see how they might manage the countryside and cities better and mitigate the mess the later Louis inflicted upon France.
It's a good question indeed, but sadly one that we'll never know the answer to. Thank you for watching.

They did not want to share power with the people, but with their peers. It would have been a catastrophe, according to most of the historians.
Nice video as always. Thanks for your efforts.
Thank YOU for watching !!
Thanks so much for sharing your videos. I really enjoy getting to learn about French history 🌺
Thank YOU for watching Melissa, I am honoured !
Excellent as always 👑! Merci 🌸
Thank you Christine, its so great to see you return for every video, I am honoured !
Great informative video. Thank you for putting these together!
Thank YOU for watching, so proud to have you here !
Some more info I just found out Le Petit Douphine he had one leg shorter like Llouis Auguste Du Maine only it was not that pronounced
Love your videos. I always learn something new.
Thank you Wendy, that makes me very happy !!
Thank you for such engaging and informative content. 👍🍁👏
Thank you for watching again Ann ! Glad you are happy with my videos !
Oh my gosh, what a tragic sequence of deaths in such a short time! I can't even imagine! Sadly very common- my g-g-grandmother lost 4 of her 6 children in 5 days to diptheria- but it has such huge ramifications when it happens in a royal family. Very interesting about the Burgundian faction! It sounds like a big "what-if?" in French history, & one that might've been better than what actually happened.
There were plenty of nobles who had great ideas that somehow never came to pass.. But I guess that's the case with every event in history. What if Catherine of Aragon had had a living son... What if England would've allowed Tsar Nicholas II to move to England ? What if Hitler had been shot during WW1... A bit crazy if you really think about it too much !
@@TheKingsofFrance To be _really_ annoying & technical, Catherine of Aragon DID have a living son! Henry, Duke of Cornwall was born perfectly healthy, but sadly died of an unknown illness at 52 days old- but ofc you meant one that lived to inherit the throne :D My fave Tudor "what-if?", tho, is "what if Henry VIII's older brother Arthur had survived to rule?"- with Catherine of Aragon as his queen, ofc, as they were married briefly before Arthur sadly died aged 15. Obviously LITERALLY ANYONE would've been better than Henry VIII, but I've read a bio of Arthur, & while there's not a lot known about him as a person, if you factor in his upbringing & his father Henry VII's plans for him, I think there's a high chance he would've been quite a decent king- much more like his father than his brother; he was certainly raised to be the polar opposite of the way his brother turned out to be...
But I'll stop with the English history on a French history channel! :D I just don't know enough to conjure up a French "what-if?"- & ofc it's pure speculation with no right or wrong answers. It's just fun when you do know enough stuff to put it together, & you can debate how various factors might've played out- storytelling basically! I totally see how some people would find speculating about what DIDN'T happen pointless, silly or uninteresting tho... Brilliant vid, as always! :)
@@beth7935 see, that’s why I don’t cover the Tudors haha ! That’s other people’s territory, although I might make a little sidestep to Anne Boleyn’s stay in France, Mary Tudor who married Louis XII and Mary Queen of Scots who married François II.
I reached out to another channel to do a collab so i could just do the ‘french’ part of their lives while they’d do the remainder… but they’re not interested.
I’m definitely not doing their entire life… that’s really not my territory, but they were a part of French history so I won’t pass them by either…
@@TheKingsofFrance Ye Gods no!! Please don't! :D There's waaaay too much Tudor already! :D ;) But looking at those 3 ladies' time _in France,_ as an expert on _French_ royal history, & from a _French_ perspective, WOULD be different, & really interesting! And a great link to step from English history into French :)
...And I did see a comment you made on another channel, asking about a collab, & cos I'm a busybody- & cos I'd love to see it!- I suggested a couple of other channels:
Bruce Fummey of Scotland History Tours for Mary Queen of Scots; he's done some great stuff on her, & the Scottish perspective, rather than the English, was really enlightening to me.
History Calling for the others- sadly, Claire Ridgway of The Anne Boleyn Files, the excellent youtuber who's the only reason I got into Tudor history at all, would probably be too busy, but HC is equally excellent in terms of research & sources, like you, & she does Tudor stuff but she said she was looking to branch out...
I can't speak for them, lol; I just loved your idea & these channels are the best ones I can think of for it- & I watch a LOT :D
@@beth7935 hello mate
Brilliant video thanks for the history
Thank you so much for watching again !
I know you make videos about french royalty, but can you possibly think of making a video about Nostradamus. I’ve always been fascinated with him. And love to learn more about him.
Gosh, good question.
Let me consider it for a while…
Can you do a video on Phillip V of Spain?
It is planned for December 25 :-)
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you so much!!! I have always wanted to read and know about him. Historians have been unfair to him for favoring France over Spain in certain matters. I would also like to know if you are going to do a video on Maria Teresa Rafaela, his daughter, and Elisabeth Farnese, his second wife.
@@eliasmekuria5485 Maria Theresa Rafaela was already in the planning, so was his first wife. I will add Elisabeth Farnese to the list.
@@TheKingsofFranceLove all your videos. The information you tell us is very interesting!!! Will totally subscribe and few all your videos. When will the video on Maria Theresa Rafaela and Elisabeth Farnese?
Fantastic video
Imagine this Louis XV
History might have looked quite differerently. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Louis Of Burgundy: Wow that’s me
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Prove it! Show us the receipts!
Maybe you should have included what Louis XIV or someone else thought of his death or something but as always your videos are great.
Thank you for watching. Louis XIV was saddened by his death, after losing le grand dauphin, this was the second heir to his throne that he lost... When later on the two sons of the Duc De Bourgogne also died, he altered his will and added two of his sons with the Montespan to the line of succession...
You're right, I should've added that in my video.
Hey Ebann, thank you for watching again ! Never knew little demons enjoy history this much !
@@TheKingsofFrance I have a doubt, weren't Louis' children with Montespan illegitimate so shouldn't that be a scandal.
@@ebannfriends3812 I love your channel
@@hiworld7306 he legalised them a few years after their birth. A few years before Louis XIV’s death they were declared to be princes of the blood and added to the line of the succession. I briefly talk about it in Part 4 of my video series on Louis XIV but separate videos on both Louis Auguste and Louis Alexandre will follow at at later date !
Just a gentle suggestion, if I may? In English we call it 'the Palatine' and pronounce it as 'pal-uh-tyne'. Great post, as ever!
Suggestions are always welcome… my pronounciation is based on the french pronounciation but even I get confused sometimes as I’m working with three languages to make these videos (flemish, my native tongue, french and english). Thank you for watching so often, I really appreciate that !
This is a video about FRENCH aristocracy. And I’m not even French…
@@TheKingsofFrance For what it's worth, I LOVE the French pronounciations & versions of the names! :) It's in the context of French history, on a channel about French kings- like, for English history I'd say "Francis I", but for French I'd say "Francois I". And I really like learning the French pronounciations cos I often don't know them, & some are really beautiful- I LOVE how "Adelaide" is pronounced! Sooo much better than "Add-uh-layd"!
@@TheKingsofFrance It is most appropriate to pronounce French names and titles in French, and you do so wonderfully. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for returning to my channel Anastasia, I really appreciate it !
Greetings from the UK
Thank you for watching hun !
@@TheKingsofFrance Love your videos are Amazing
Ha methinks no French aristo would want to be in any category termed “short” in anything….money honour stature
His father was called ... Le Grand Dauphin ... not sure if being called 'big' is any better ;-) ... Thank you for watching and commenting !
Ha “Petit” also means child. Mes petits=mes enfants=my children;-)
