The title of regent was customarily assigned to an under-aged king's nearest adult living relative, often his mother or an uncle. Īccording to Charles V's royal ordinance of 1374 the Kingdom of France must be governed by a regent until a given king had reached the age of 13. When Louis XIV himself finally died on 1 September 1715, Louis, at the age of five, trembling and crying and against all probability, inherited the throne as Louis XV. The governess of Louis, Madame de Ventadour, forbade the doctors to bleed the two year old Duke of Anjou by hiding him in a palace closet where she cared for him alone where he survived despite being very ill. On the night of 8–9 March, the new Dauphin, age five, died from the combination of the disease and the treatment. The two brothers were treated in the traditional way, with bloodletting. With the death of both the Grand and Petit dauphins, Louis's elder brother immediately became Dauphin of France, but just over two weeks further still, on 7 March, it was found that both the elder Louis and the younger Louis had also contracted measles. Disease, however, steered the line of succession forward three generations and sideways: on 14 April 1711 the Grand Dauphin, died of smallpox, and less than a year later, on 12 February 1712 the future king's mother, Marie Adélaïde, who had been stricken with measles, died, followed six days later by Louis's father, her devoted husband who would not leave her side during her illness. Next in line to the throne behind the Grand Dauphin was his eldest son- Louis's father Le Petit Dauphin and then Louis's elder brother, a child named Louis Duke of Brittany. At this time, the possibility of the Duke of Anjou becoming the next king seemed rather remote as Louis XIV's eldest son and heir, Louis's paternal grandfather Louis Le Grand Dauphin, was expected to assume the throne upon the old king's death. He was born in the Palace of Versailles on 15 February 1710 and was immediately styled the Duke of Anjou. Louis XV was the great-grandson of Louis XIV and the third son of the Duke of Burgundy (1682–1712), and his wife Marie Adélaïde of Savoy, who was the eldest daughter of Victor Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy. The portrait, painted for her, commemorates her part in saving the dynasty. Madame de Ventadour holds her charge's reins. Main article: Régence The infant Louis with his governess, grandfather, great-grandfather and father, and the busts of Henry IV and Louis XIII in the background. His grandson and successor Louis XVI inherited a large kingdom in need of financial and political reform which would ultimately lead to the French Revolution of 1789. A minority of scholars dispute this view, arguing that it is the result of revolutionary propaganda. Historians generally criticize his reign, citing how reports of his corruption embarrassed the monarchy, while his wars drained the treasury and produced little gain. He incorporated the territories of the Duchy of Lorraine and the Corsican Republic into the Kingdom of France. He ceded New France in North America to Great Britain and Spain at the conclusion of the disastrous Seven Years' War in 1763. In 1748, Louis returned the Austrian Netherlands, won at the Battle of Fontenoy of 1745. His reign of almost 59 years (from 1715 to 1774) was the second longest in the history of France, exceeded only by his predecessor, Louis XIV, who had ruled for 72 years (from 1643 to 1715). Cardinal Fleury was chief minister from 1726 until his death in 1743, at which time the king took sole control of the kingdom. Until he reached maturity (then defined as his 13th birthday) in 1723, the kingdom was ruled by his grand-uncle Philippe II, Duke of Orléans, as Regent of France. He succeeded his great-grandfather Louis XIV at the age of five. mod file and make sure it has a path pointing to your new folder.Louis XV (15 February 1710 – ), known as Louis the Beloved (French: le Bien-Aimé), was King of France from 1 September 1715 until his death in 1774.
