Listen "Louis XIV's Illegitimate Children"
Episode Synopsis
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
