“The happiest and most important event for me”: so Marie Antoinette described the birth of her son in a letter to her friend, Princess Charlotte of Hesse-Darmstadt. Such a jubilant reaction was not confined to the baby’s mother. The baptism, according to custom, was performed in the afternoon following the birth. The child was named Louis Joseph for his Bourbon forefathers, and his Habsburg godfather (and Uncle) with the additional names of Xavier and Francois. The king wept throughout the ceremony. Soon, and Madame Campan noted, he was framing his conversation so that the words “my son the Dauphin” could be introduced as frequently as possible.”
