- Louis Joseph De France - Louis XVI 's firstborn son: Louis Joseph of France was born at Versailles on 22 October 1781 and died at Meudon on 4 June 1789 of tuberculosis. He was the second child and first son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Louis Jospeh was thedauphin of France and bore the title duke of Brittany. He died at the age of seven of tuberculosis and his brother Louis Charles, then four years old, succeeded him as Dauphin of France.
Oh poor little Louis Joseph. I think it's a relief he passed away to heavenly realms and was pain free once again. I shudder at metal corsets to straighten his poor spine after being wrongly diagnosed by palace physicians. Thank you for a tragic but excellent video. Xxx
Thank you Laura... A friend of mine wore a modern day version of such a corset, and it was pretty horrible and painful at times... So one can only imagine what the 18th century version of that thing would've been like to wear...
Oh no. I do hope your friend's painful, but less brutal coreset from which Louis suffered, - treatment was successful and is living a happy life. 😊xxx
Soon, his mom, dad and siblings would join him. They're now reunited.
Gosh. Poor kid. It's always so sad when someone so innocent endures so much pain.
Thank you for watching Robert !
@@TheKingsofFrance You're welcome.
I'm beginning to think you are a historian and perhaps a professor. You have been prolific with your uploads which are so well researched and presented. We all appreciate you so much! Thank you.
Thank you so much Ludovic, I really appreciate the compliment and am glad people find value in my videos !
@@TheKingsofFrance he actually died at the Chatou de Meudon the favorite castle of Le Grand Dauphin this is.... heartbreaking
He was really cute and beautiful like his parents. I feel sorry for the little dauphin. But Louis Charles had a worse fate than sweet Louis Joseph. Who suffered a great ordeal at the hands of revolutionaries being the only surviving son of the King.
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion !
Poor sweet boy! ❤️ I hadn't heard how he got tuberculosis. Thank you very much again 💖
It's a sad story. Thank you for watching !
The whole family suffered poor little children and Louie and Antoinette only now is the real History coming about Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake and it would have been called brioche and it's not made with a lot of flowers so if she had said that it would have be compatible would have been compassionate History it was said by another queen but not Marie Antoinette please give our darling ❤ from family
Poor Louie! This broke my heart. Great but tragic documentary. I really appreciate these Bourbon documents. I learn more about my ancestors. Thank you so much!
Thank you Lily for watching again !
@@TheKingsofFrance You're welcome. I can't get enough of your documentaries. They are so special for me, believe me. Thank you so much!
Sadly Louis Joseph would have been doomed whatever the state of his health as he would have suffered a similar fate to that of his younger brother, i.e. dying as a result of the mental and emotional abuse by his revolutionary captors. The treatment of the Dauphin and the vile, false charges about his sexual abuse at the hands of his mother that were brought against Marie Antoinette are one of the most shameful episodes of the Revolution.
I never looked at it that way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Tuberculosis is/was a brutal disease. Sorry that this child had to suffer so 😔. Merci 🌸
Yeah, it's awful, & it just seems like sooo many people died of it- loads of my ancestors have "consumption" on their death certificates. And it's awful that people were so often made sicker by medical treatment, or even killed- & when you're the monarch or heir, doctors will be so desperate to save you that they'll try literally anything. Charles II of England's doctors definitely hastened his death, & made it a worse death too.
Thank you so much for watching again Christine !
Oh the poor boy he did not deserve it. 😢
No child ever does :(... Thank you for watching and commenting.
This poor boy always breaks my heart!
It's a sad story indeed. Thank you Marina.
He really had such a short, tragic life.
Great video could you do a video about henri II
Love your channel... very interesting
Yeah it's a brilliant channel
@@humpaville1164 So Do l!!! History Fantasizes me!!!
Thank you so much, I am so glad you are here.
Could you a series about Maria de Medici and Henry IV's children?
Good idea
Also it spelt henri in france I'm pretty sure
@@humpaville1164 Yes, and I also suggest a series about François Ier and Claude of France as well as his son Henri II's family.
@@Kingpowch good yeah so like henri Iv son louis XIII
Louis Joseph was not the son of louis quatourze. As you’ve stated.
It's sad that he died so young but it was a relief at the same time cause he didn't have to suffer like his younger brother and older sister did
Thank you for watching.
Long live Louis XVl
Thank you so much hun !
Merci. This is a sad story
Thank you for watching and commenting Alison
I RESPECT little Boy I FROM NEPAL 🇳🇵
Thank you very much for watching Satya !
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette deeply loved their children. Despite what Louis-Joseph went through even though he was intelligent, well-educated until his death-the Court gives him a burial then all of a sudden forget about him. With debate going around, they won’t give time for the royal king and queen to mourn for their son and second child they lost. A year after Louis-Charles birth, there was Princess Sophie Héléne-her death was mostly mourned by the Royal parents.
The painting where she is seen with her children originally contained a portrait of Sophie in her crib, but after Sophie's death, the crib was painted 'empty' as it was too painful for the queen... Thank you for watching !
Weird or what but I've always prayed for Louie the 16th I know a lot of the history and how sad for such a role to be thrust upon a young man that was timid and shy and suffered greatly from the medical condition which prevented his manhood coming about sooner how alone he must have felt and then the suffering of his children dying then to be executed along with his wife what a tragedy history buffs Marie Antoinette never said let them eat cake
So sad! :'( But I do like that you make vids on some children who didn't live to adulthood, &/or heirs who didn't become king. We only remember the one who _did_ become king, but that's hindsight- for 7 years, Louis Joseph was heir, & Louis XVII was just the heir's younger brother... It's horrible that people were so often made sicker by medical treatment, or even killed- & when you're the monarch or heir, doctors will be so desperate to save you that they'll try literally anything. Charles II of England's doctors definitely hastened his death.
I like giving the lesser known nobels and royals their own moment. Some have very interesting stories...
@@TheKingsofFrance They're often the ones that fascinate me! And loads of them are women- we only remember a few like Catherine de Medici, Marie Antoinette & Madame Pompadour, & I think I've watched all your vids on women :)
Awesome video
Thank you very much !
as far as i know Louis Joseph died on the exact same day as the Estate General convened for the first time
Will yo do videos for the Rennaisance and Medieval French Monarchs and Royal Families?
Yes, I will... but please keep in mind it might take some time before I get to those royals.
@@TheKingsofFrance why?
For those viewers who don't speak French, the last name of the dauphin's wetnurse - 'Poitrine' - actually means 'chest' or 'bosom'! If that wasn't a nickname and her actual surname by marriage, talk about coincidences....
I didn't know that myself. Thank you for sharing.
Could Marie Antoinette nurse her own babies?
Also, If your interested in going very far back if French history, you might consider Clovis I. He is considered the founder of the French nation and a covert to Christianity.
I'm planning on working my way back to him. But i'll be a project of many years as you might imagine !
Thank you! What a sad little life, but I'm so glad that he was well loved by his parents! How cruel the General Assembly was not to comply with the King's wishes and give him a few days to grieve. All of this was so interesting that I told my husband about little Louis Joseph. In what the Assembly did, one can see the dissolution of absolutism.
Thank you for watching again Maria !
The entire country was dying... thousands of poor children were dying... think of that.
Very true! The right perspective.
Poor kid. He really went through a lot none of it that was helped by his bad doctors.
Thank you so much for your continuous support, I really appreciate it !
The two brothers were both so unfortunate. Very tragic.
So was their youngest daughter. And if you look at the life of their sister, her life wasn't easy either. If you're interested, you can find a video of her on my channel as well.
@@TheKingsofFrance Very true, but. at least, she survived the revolution and lived to old age. Thank you for your informative videos. You put a lot of work into them.
This is so horrible when you lose a child and the government won’t even let you postpone their debate so you can grieve. No compassion at all. Thanks for your video, it’s nice to see what happened to the children.
Glad you liked the video !!
What compassion the court showed for the thousands of dying children?
The Lord's little angel may he rest
❤ thank you so very much for all of the information that is actually factual nowadays it's hard to get factual information about the dufault house at his life was a tragic he lived what is strong King he would have made is he showed his willingness at the very end to still pleased his people may God and his angels rest with the bravest of the heir to the family throne
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Anastasia !
Can you do a video on Catherine De Medici? I would really like to see it.
I will.. She's on the list but it'll be 2022 before I get around to her...
So a poor child(. So awful and sad that there wasn’t any normal doctors and medicine earlier…What a tragic fate of the French kings(
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
A source of tuberculosis used to be cows' milk. I wonder if the wet nurse passed on the disease through her milk? Or if she consumed contaminated cows' milk? It seems like it would have been a natural medical prescription for a wet nurse to drink a lot of milk.
Good question... Thank you for watching and commenting.
Every kids doesn't deserve to die especially in centuries ago but i might say (please don't bash me) i think it is a good thing because if he would be alive when the monarchy is overthrown, i think he would have the same fate of his brother neglected to death and was force to testify against his mom's false accusation which is not really herself in realife.
You make a fair point there. Either way, history happened as it happened, and another child became the victim of the revolution. But yes, Louis Joseph at least passed in a warm bed, being surrounded by love and care. Either way, it was a very sad affaire.
It's sad gangrene is not a good look in your spine. Philadelphia USA
Thank you for watching and commenting !
I can’t imagine the terror on this poor little boy when he was tortured and worse by his jailers. His parents knew their fate but a little boy had no clue what would become of him.
Louis Joseph never was jailed, he died a few months before the start of the French Revolution. it was his brother who died at the Tour Du Temple. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Have you watched carefully, the video was about the oldest boy, the youngest died during the revolution.
I thought the Dauphin died in prison after the Revolution but maybe it was this other son who was killed by the new govt. .
Louis XVI had 2 sons. This boy died a few months before the french revolution. Upon the death of Louis Joseph, his younger brother became the new Dauphin and thus heir to the throne. He was indeed killed during the revolution.
Great video could you do a video about henri II
I will in due time ! But it'll be 2022...
