Dukes of Aquitaine - Valois and Bourbon Dukes of Aquitaine

Valois and Bourbon Dukes of Aquitaine

The Valois Kings of France, claiming supremacy over Aquitaine, granted the title of Duke to their heirs, the Dauphins.

  • John II (1345–50), son of Philip VI of France, acceded in 1350 as King of France.
  • Charles (1392?–1401), son of Charles VI of France, Dauphin.
  • Louis (1401–15), son of Charles VI of France, Dauphin.

With the end of the Hundred Years' War, Aquitaine returned to direct rule of the King of France and remained in the possession of the King. Only occasionally was the Duchy or the title of Duke granted to another member of the dynasty.

  • Charles, Duc de Berry (1469–72), son of Charles VII of France.
  • Xavier (1753–54), second son of Louis, Dauphin of France.

The Infante Jaime, Duke of Segovia, son of Alfonso XIII of Spain, was one of the Legitimist pretenders to the French throne; as such he created his son Gonzalo, Duke of Aquitaine (1972–2000); Gonzalo had no legitimate children.
