Who did Louis Antoine become the legitimist pretender as after his father's death?

  • Louis XIX

  • Louis XVIII

  • Louis XVII

  • Louis XVI

Answer

Louis XIX became the legitimist pretender to the French throne after the death of his father, Louis XVIII. Legitimism is the belief that the rightful ruler of a country is the legitimate heir of the previous ruler, regardless of any changes in government or constitution. Louis XIX was the eldest son of Louis XVIII and was therefore considered the rightful heir to the throne.
