History Tea Time

Louis XIV's Illegitimate Children


Listen Later

Louis XIV, King of France from 1638 to 1715 was, like all French Kings, expected to have many lovers to prove his virility. And as could be expected in a time before reliable birth control, he also had large a crop of illegitimate children. Last week we met 13 of Louis’ mistresses. Today we’ll meet the 16 resulting offspring:

Marie Anne de Bourbon

Louis, Count of Vermandois

Louis Auguste, Duke of Maine

Louis César, Count of Vexin

Louise Françoise de Bourbon

Françoise Marie de Bourbon

Louis Alexandre, Count of Toulouse

Armand Gaston Maximilien de Rohan, Cardinal of Strasbourg

Louise de Maisonblanche
