Enfants de France - portraits of French princes (and three princesses)

Sons (and daughters) and grandsons and great-grandsons of kings, sons and great-nephews of emperors, only three eventually ascended the throne of France. One was horrified to find himself there and lost it, one schemed to reclaim it, one lost it again. And only one of those abandoned the throne as a result of the most natural of causes: old age and illness and death.
