Louis II d'Orléans, Duke of Longueville

Louis II d'Orléans, duc de Longueville and comte de Dunois (1510 – 9 June 1537) was a French aristocrat and the first husband of Mary of Guise,[1] who later became queen consort of Scotland. He was the second son of Louis I d'Orléans, duc de Longueville by his wife Jeanne of Hochberg, and succeeded his brother Claude when the latter died in 1524.[2]

He married Mary of Guise on 4 August 1534 at the Château du Louvre. During their brief marriage, the couple had two children:

  • François, born 30 October 1535, who would later succeed to the dukedom[2]
  • Louis, a posthumous child born 4 August 1537, who died four months later.[3]

Louis died at Rouen on 9 June 1537,[4][lower-alpha 1] Mary would later marry James V of Scotland.[1]

Notes

gollark: Otherwise it would be like feeding XML to a JSON parser. Bad and don't do it æææ.
gollark: When that is updated, the meaning has always been that and will never be anything else.

gollark: WRONG!
gollark: > there is literally no reason to fight against a word's current usage when another one works fineYes there is. Lots of things are tied to the word sometimes.
