You believe France will accept a Spanish Prince as their King if it would become a Kingdom again?

Question

I know it is about 400 years and maybe more that "le Roi Soleil" made this unchangeable agreement in a time that the reigning Spanish King did not find a Queen. Louis XIV arranged a marriage whit a cousin of him, but he ordered this agreemens that the descendants of this marriage never have the right to become King of France. In the other way the descendantes of Louis XIV could never become King of Spain.

Now, as far as I know that agreement has never been cancelled. And if it is still written in constition of the Monarchy than how is it possible that this Louis XX (which I personaly met at the pressconference in Paris concerning the NDA test of the hart of Louis XVII), ever would reign over France?

I know that about 125 years something the Republican government has asked the Comte de Chambord to become King of France.

He refused because and precise his words: "The throne belongs to the reightfull heir of the Kingdom, the descendants of Louis XVI"

Answer 1

The Duke of Orleans family wouldn't like it?

Answer 2

Interesting question....  One issue: who claims the title title "Duc d'Anjou" these days.

The present King of Spain has acknowledged that the title rests with the Orleanist branch of the Bourbon dynasty.  It was claimed under the theory that it became extinct through inability to pass through Isabella II.

Another theory/claim, however, leaves the title Duke of Anjou with the King's cousin, who claims it through his grandfather, who renounced the Spanish throne for himself and his descendents due to blindness (not sure if he got the hemophilia that came into the family through descent from Queen Victoria).

Anyhow, the long-winded point is that a Spaniard may not have the best claim.

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

I think that France will accept a Spanish Prince as their King when there are no more French Princes to be King.

Answer 5

Nope! If they were the ones that somehow inspired the U.S. independence I don't think they want the royals back. France does not need them.

Answer 6

Personally, I dont have an opinion on this one, but who is to say that some wouldnt want the Bonaparte pretender either?

Answer 7

There are French descendants available.The Spanish Bourbons are only one side of the family.

Heir of the royal family of Bourbon (kings of France from 998 to 1830) : Monseigneur Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, duc d'Anjou et de Bourbon.

Heir of the royal family of Orléans (one king : Louis-Philippe 1830 - 1848) : Monseigneur Henri de France, comte de Paris, duc de France

Heir of the imperial family of Bonaparte : Son altesse impériale le Prince Napoléon

There is a discussion of this subject at http://www.theroyalforums.com/f76/who-ri...

As to a return to the monarchy,I don't think so.There has been no great political movement to do so.

Answer 8

Not possible because the pretender to the French throne is the Count of Paris  

Answer 9

The French cut off the heads of all their royals including hundreds who were cousins of cousins of cousins. Then they kicked out all the clergy. They are more secular than the United States and will never become a monarchy again except against their will.
