Descendants of Louis XIV of France
Encyclopedia
The descendants of Louis XIV of France
, Bourbon monarch
of the Kingdom of France
, are numerous. Although only three of his children by his wife Maria Theresa of Spain
survived past infancy, Louis had many illegitimate children by his mistresses. This article deals with the children of Louis XIV and in turn their senior descendants.
also had two other children, though they were unable to survive infancy. Their names were Anne-Élisabeth (18 November 1662 – 30 December 1662) and Louis-François (14 June 1672 – 4 November 1672).
. Maria was the daughter of Philip IV of Spain
and Elisabeth of France. María Teresa thus combined the blood of Philip III of Spain
and Margarita of Austria
, on her father's side, and that of Henry IV of France
and Marie de' Medici
, on her mother's side.
In his turn, Philip III was the son of Philip II of Spain
and Anna of Austria
who was, herself, a daughter of Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor
and Maria of Spain
. Philip II and Maria of Spain were siblings, being both children of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor
and Isabella of Portugal
. María Teresa, therefore, like many Habsburgs, was a product of years and generations of royal intermarriage between cousins.
In 1659, as the war with France began to wind down, a union between the two royal families, of Spain and of France, was proposed as a means to secure peace. María Teresa and Louis XIV were double first-cousins, and it was proposed that they wed. His father was Louis XIII of France
, who was the brother of her mother, while her father was brother to Anne of Austria
, his mother.
Such a prospect was intensely enticing to Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV and aunt of María Teresa, who desired an end to hostilities between her native country, Spain, and her adopted one, France, and who hoped this to come by her niece becoming her daughter-in-law. However, Spanish hesitation and procrastination led to a scheme in which Cardinal Mazarin, the First Minister of France, pretended to seek a marriage for his master with Margaret of Savoy
. When Philip IV of Spain heard of the meeting at Lyon between the Houses of France and Savoy, he reputedly exclaimed of the Franco-Savoyard union that "it cannot be, and will not be". Philip then sent a special envoy to the French Court to open negotiations for peace and a royal marriage.
After a marriage by proxy to the French king in Fuenterrabia
, María Teresa became known as Marie-Thérèse. Her father, Philip IV, and the entire Spanish court accompanied the bride to the Isle of Pheasants, in the Bidassoa, where Louis and his court met her. On 7 June 1660, she departed from her native country of Spain. Two days later, on 9 June, the religious marriage took place in Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Saint Jean-Baptiste church, which had recently been rebuilt on the site of the former 13th century church burned several times in the 15th and 16th centuries.
, was the last male heir of the direct line of descent from Louis XIV
. After his death in the temple in 1795, the succession rights passed to his uncle (the title of "Heir-Male" of Louis XIV would also have passed to him), who eventually became Louis XVIII of France
, a younger brother of the Duke's Father, Louis XVI of France
, and was as such a member of the senior line of descent from Louis XIV and the Bourbon-Vendôme line of the House of Bourbon
.
After Louis XVIII's death, the throne went to yet another brother of Louis XVI, Charles, Count of Artois, who ascended the throne as Charles X of France
. His son, Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême
, married Madame Royale, daughter of his uncle, Louis XVI of France, in a move to unite both lines of Royal Family. However, the duke and Madame Royale never had any children. Louis-Antoine was King of France for just about 20 minutes, after his father's abdication, but was himself forced to sign his abdication
, granting all rights to the Duke of Orléans, who became Louis-Phillippe, King of the French
.
However, the remaining descendants of Charles X refused to give up their claims. From this struggle emerged the Legitimist and the Orleanist
parties, the former of which supported the cause of Henri, Comte de Chambord
, grandson of Charles X, and the latter supported the deposed House of Orléans
, to which Louis-Phillipe belonged and were his subsequent descendants. Therefore according to primogeniture rules, Henri, Comte de Chambord was the Heir-Male of Louis XIV and also the Legitimist claimant of the throne of France.
.
However, in the aftermath of the War of Spanish Succession, Philip of Anjou inherited the throne of Spain, but had to renounce his claim to the French throne as part of Treaty of Utrecht
, in a move to prevent the union of the two Crowns by the Grand Alliance powers. Legitimists regard this as invalid, because, under the fundamental law of French monarchy, neither a king nor his heirs can renounce the claim to a throne they hold but do not possess.
Moreover, Philip quickly revived Spanish ambition; taking advantage of the power vacuum caused by Louis XIV's death in 1715, Philip announced he would claim the French crown if the infant Louis XV died, and attempted to reclaim Spanish territory in Italy, precipitating the War of the Quadruple Alliance
in 1717.
After the death of Henry, Count of Chambord, the title passed to his distant cousin and brother-in-law, Juan, Count of Montizon
, who was also the Carlist pretender to the throne of Spain, as he was the son of Carlos, Count of Molina. He was proclaimed Jean III, King of France and Navarre. He issued a declaration saying, "Having become Head of the House of Bourbon by the death of my brother-in-law and cousin, the Count of Chambord, I declare that I do not in any way renounce the rights to the throne of France which I have held since my birth".
After his death, his sons and grandson, succeeded to the titles. His youngest son, Alfonso Carlos
, willed his rights to the Spanish throne to Xavier, Duke of Parma
, who became the Carlist pretender. However, the rights to the throne of France passed to his cousin, Francis of Spain
, who was the son of his grandfather's youngest brother. Francis was Isabella II's consort, therefore the claim was inherited by the Spanish Royal Family
, in the person of King Alphonso XIII of Spain. The title was next inherited by the second eldest son of Alphonso, Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia
and subsequently his grandson and great-grandson.
Therefore, the present Legitimist pretender line to the throne of France descends from Philip V of Spain. The current Heir-male of Louis XIV and the Bourbon-Vendôme line of the House of Bourbon and the Legitimist claimant to the throne of France is Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou
, who is the first cousin once removed of the present king of Spain, Juan Carlos I
, son of Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz
However, if a Non-Salic primogeniture is followed, the eldest surviving descendant, in other words, the Heir-General of Louis XIV is Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma
, the mother of the present duke of Calabria. With the death of madame royal, daughter of Louis XVI, the direct line of the French royal family became extinct. Therefore, the title passed to her brother-in-law and cousin, the youngest son of Charles X of France, the duke of Berry, since her husband and his brother, the duke of Angoulême, died without issue. The duke of Berry's son, Henri Duke of Bordeaux, became Henri V, the legitimist pretender to the throne of France and as such the eldest heir of Louis XIV. however with his death, the titles split, with the French succession rights passing to members of the Spanish royal family and the title of heir-general passing to his sister, Louise Marie Thérèse d'Artois, who married Charles III, Duke of Parma
, himself a direct descendant of Philip V of Spain. Their great-grand daughter is Princess Alicia.
Princess Alicia is also heir of Louis XIV through another line. Louis XV's eldest daughter, Princess Louise Élisabeth of France
married Philip, Duke of Parma
, a son of King Philip V of Spain and Elisabeth Farnese. Therefore, Infanta Alicia, who is a direct descendant of the couple, is a legitimate holder of the title of Heir-General of Louis XIV.

The Spanish Line
Henri, Comte de Chambord died on 24 August 1883, childless. This was the end of the direct line of Louis XIV, through his eldest grandson, Louis de France, Duke of Burgundy (duc de Bourgogne). His youngest grandson, Charles, Duke of Berry died without any surviving issue. Therefore according to the Laws of Succession in France, the rights of succession passed to the descendants of Philip V of Spain, formerly Philip of Anjou, who was Louis XIV's second eldest grandson. Some of the legitimists recognized Louis-Philippe's grandson, Philippe, Count of Paris, as the rightful heir.
