Dauphin of France
The title was abolished by the Constitution of 1791, which made France a constitutional monarchy. Under the constitution the heir-apparent to the throne (Dauphin Louis-Charles at that time) was restyled "Prince Royal" (a "Prince of the Blood" retitled "prince français"), taking effect from the inception of the Legislative Assembly on 1 October 1791. The title was restored "in potentia" under the Bourbon Restoration of Louis XVIII, but there would not be another Dauphin until after his death. With the accession of his brother Charles X, Charles' son and heir Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême automatically became Dauphin.
