[edit] Life

Louis Joseph Xavier de France, duc de Bourgogne was the second surviving child and eldest son of Dauphin Louis Ferdinand of France and Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony, Louis Joseph of France was thus the oldest brother to the future kings Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X.

He was given the title of Duke of Burgundy by his grandfather, Louis XV of France; he was expected to have become King of France after the death of his father. He was a popular Prince and was expected to have been a good ruler of the country. He was adored by his older sister Princess Marie Zéphyrine of France and he adored her too. She died at the age of 5 in 1755.

He died at the age of nine at Versailles after having fallen from a toy horse in 1760. He started limping and a tumour began to grow on his hip. This was operated on, but he never recovered the use of his legs. He was buried at the Basilica of St Denis.
