The Grand Dauphin (1661-1711), known at court as 'Monseigneur', was the son of Louis XIV and Queen Marie-Thérèse of France. He married Anne-Marie-Christine of Bavaria and had three sons, but predeceased his father when he died of smallpox at the age of fifty, so that Louis XIV was eventually succeeded by his great-grandson.
