Louis, Dauphin of France, Duke of Guyenne

Who was Louis, Dauphin of France, Duke of Guyenne?

Louis, Dauphin of France and Duke of Guyenne was a younger son of Charles VI of France and Isabeau of Bavaria. He was the third child of his parents to hold the title Dauphin of France, holding it from the death of his older brother in 1401, when he was likewise made Duke of Guyenne.

In 1412, he married Margaret of Burgundy. He was not present at the Battle of Agincourt, remaining with his father King Charles at Rouen. He died in December, possibly of dysentery.

He is sometimes mistakenly confused with Charles VII of France, who was Dauphin at the time that he met Joan of Arc.
