The details
Biography
Prince Jean of Orléans, Duke of Guise (Jean Pierre Clément Marie; 4 September 1874 – 25 August 1940), was the son of Robert, Duke of Chartres (1840–1910), grandson of Ferdinand Philippe and great-grandson of Louis Philippe I, King of the French. His mother was Françoise of Orléans, daughter of François, Prince of Joinville, and Princess Francisca of Brazil.
Biography
Upon the death of his cousin Philippe of Orléans, Duke of Orléans, claimant to the throne of France as "Philip VIII", the Duke of Guise became, at least for his Orleanist supporters, titular king of France as "Jean III". The title was disputed by members of the Spanish Anjou branch of the family, descended from Louis XIV.
Jean died in Larache, Morocco, in 1940. He was succeeded as claimant to the French throne by his only son Henri d' Orléans, Comte de Paris.
Marriage and issue
In 1899, Jean d'Orléans married his 1st cousin Isabelle d'Orléans (1878–1961). Isabelle was the younger sister of Philip VIII and daughter of Philip VII and Marie Isabelle d'Orléans.
They had four children:
- Isabelle d'Orléans (1900–1983). First married in 1923 to Marie Hervé Jean Bruno, Count of Harcourt (1899–1930) and then to Prince Pierre Murat in 1934.
- Françoise d'Orléans (1902–1953). Married to Christopher of Greece and Denmark in 1929. He was a son of George I of Greece and Olga, Queen of Greece. They were parents of Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark.
- Anne d'Orléans (1906–1986). She married Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta in 1927.
- Henri d'Orléans, Count of Paris (1908–1999). Married to Princess Isabelle of Orléans-Braganza.
