 FatherPhilippe (IV, The Fair, King of France 1285-1314)  MotherJoan (of Champagne)
 Born4 October 1289 / 
 Died5 June 1316 / 
Louis, the eldest son of Philippe the Fair became king of France in 1314, but his reign was only to last eighteen months. During his short reign there were many riots and street fights. Examinations of the treasury found them bare and inquests into the state of the finances led to the hanging of many of Philippe's advisors. They had paid large amounts of money to people Philippe was in debt to. Louis married Clemence, the daughter of King Charles I of Hungary in August 1315 and was soon expecting his son. Louis died in May 1316 after falling ill. Poisoning was suspected but not proven.

Louis was succeeded by his brother Philippe.
