Who was Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême?

Louis Antoine of France, Duke of Angoulême was the eldest son of Charles X of France and, from 1824 to 1830, the last Dauphin of France. Due to his father's abdication during the July Revolution in 1830, he never reigned France but after his father's death in 1836 he was the legitimist pretender as Louis XIX.

A petit-fils de France at birth, he was initially known as Louis Antoine d'Artois. After his father's accession to the throne, he became fils de France, and his surname changed to de France, following the royal custom for princes with such rank.
