Louis d'Orléans (''Louis d'Orléans, duc d'Orléans'') (4 August 1703 – 4 February 1752) was the Duke of Orléans and a member of the royal family of France, the House of Bourbon, and as such was a ''prince du sang''. At his father's death, he became the First Prince of the Blood (''Premier Prince du Sang''). Known as ''Louis le Pieux'' and also as ''Louis le Génovéfain'', Louis was a pious, charitable and cultured prince, who took very little part in the politics of the time. ==Biography== Louis d'Orléans was born at the Palace of Versailles in 1703 to Philippe II, Duke of Orléans and his wife, Françoise Marie de Bourbon, the youngest legitimised daughter of Louis XIV and of his mistress Madame de Montespan. The only son of eight children, his siblings were: *''Mademoiselle de Valois'' (17 December 1693 – 17 October 1694) *Marie Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans, Duchess of Berry (20 August 1695 – 21 July 1719) *Louise Adélaïde d'Orléans, Abbess of Chelles (13 August 1698 – 10 February 1743) *Charlotte Aglaé d'Orléans, Duchess of Modena and Reggio (20 October 1700 – 19 January 1761) *Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans, Queen of Spain (11 December 1709 – 16 June 1742) *Philippine Élisabeth d'Orléans, ''Mademoiselle de Beaujolais'' (18 December 1714 – 21 May 1734) *Louise Diane d'Orléans, Princess of Conti (27 June 1716 - 26 September 1736) At his birth, he was given the courtesy title of Duke of Chartres as the heir to the Orléans fortune and titles. His maternal grandfather, the king, in addition gave him the pension reserved for the First Prince of the Blood, a rank he was not yet eligible to hold. He was brought up by his mother and his grandmother, Elizabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, and tutored by Nicolas-Hubert Mongault, the illegitimate son of Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Saint-Pouange, a cousin of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's minister. He was very close to his mother, the two remaining close till her death in 1749. Louis was very close to his younger sister Louise Élisabeth d'Orléans, who was to become Queen of Spain for seven months in 1724.〔Gordien, Marie-Estelle, ''(Louis d'Orléans (1703–1752), premier prince du sang et mystique érudit )'', Thèses de l'École nationale des chartes, France (2002).〕 He was not, however, close to his older sister, Charlotte Aglaé d'Orléans, the wife of Francesco d'Este, Duke of Modena. They were in frequent conflict during her many return visits to the French court from Modena. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
