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]

gollark: It's irritating how when you don't have Nitro the emoji picker shows you a bunch of emojis from different servers you *can't use*.
gollark: You're unlikely to find *all* the possible problematic stuff. You really should just reinstall.
gollark: And one also probably should just reinstall it, but eh...
gollark: One can only hope.
gollark: It probably stands for "Windows packet capture", considering.
