Talk:Benoît II Bourbon-Le Moyne

When did he inherit the claim of King of France? Was it before or after he'd inherited the title of Prince of Louisianne? Nik 13:11, 30 November 2005 (PST)

He's one of the salic inconsistencies of Louisianne, okay? :P His father was the son of the last heir to the throne of France, and thus he was dauphin and then inherited the title of Prince of Louisianne. BoArthur 13:35, 30 November 2005 (PST)

Right, but I'm asking about the order. As it is, it looks like he simultaneously inherited both titles, as if both the previous King and the previous Prince died at the same time :-) Nik 14:51, 30 November 2005 (PST)

If you re-read my reply, you'll see the order...he was the dauphin from birth (heir apparent at his father's death) and the heir to the Louisiannan throne when Henri lemoyne died. BoArthur 15:03, 30 November 2005 (PST)

Ah, so in 1879, he became Prince of Louisianne while still Dauphin of France? When did he become King then? The King of France article has 1879. Did it just happen that his father died in the same year as his uncle? Nik 15:21, 30 November 2005 (PST)

Sure, why not! Probably several months apart...but yes, that's so. BoArthur
