Louis Antoine of France, Duke of Angoulême (6 August 1775 – 3 June 1844) was the elder son of Charles X and the last Dauphin of France from 1824 to 1830. He is identified by the Guinness World Records as the shortest-reigning monarch, reigning for less than 20 minutes during the July Revolution,[1] but this is not backed up by historical evidence.[2] He never reigned over the country, but after his father's death in 1836, he was the legitimist pretender as Louis XIX.
