Biography
Upon the death of his cousin Philippe, Duke of Orléans, claimant to the throne of France as "Philip VIII", the Duke of Guise became, at least for his Orleanist and Unionist supporters, titular king of France as "Jean III". The title was disputed by members of the Spanish Anjou branch of the family, descended from Louis XIV of France.
He died in Larache, Morocco, in 1940. He was succeeded as claimant to the French throne by his only son, Henri d' Orléans, Count of Paris.
Marriage and issue
In 1899, he married his first cousin, Isabelle d'Orléans (1878–1961). She was the younger sister of Philip VIII, and the daughter of Philip VII and Marie Isabelle d'Orléans.
They had four children:
