louis , duke of brittany , dauphin of france -lrb- 8 january 1707 -- 8 march 1712 -rrb- , was the first son of louis of france , duke of burgundy , and marie adélaïde of savoy .
as a son of the eldest son of the dauphin , he was a `` fils de france '' .
louis was born at versailles to the duke and duchess of burgundy ; at birth he was created the duke of brittany and was the first person to hold that title for almost 200 years .
at the time of his birth louis was the third-in-line heir to his great-grandfather , king louis xiv , following his father and grandfather , louis , le grand dauphin .
he was preceded in birth by an elder brother , also named louis , who was born in 1704 and died in infancy the following year .
due to the deaths of his grandfather in 1711 and his father in 1712 , he was heir apparent to his great-grandfather as dauphin of france for three weeks in 1712 .
like his parents , he too died of measles and was buried in the basilica of st denis .
his younger brother became the dauphin and eventually succeeded as king louis xv in 1715 .
