It is described by the Bibliothèque nationale de France as follows: “Genealogy of the Bourbons. In the lower part Louis XIV supported on a shield representing the reception of their Britannic Majesties (James II and his family greeted at Saint-Germain at the end of the year 1688), the Grand Dauphin (he holds a map with views and Philisbourg plan), small dukes of Burgundy, Anjou and Berry (born respectively in 1682 , 1683 and 1686).”

RESEARCH TIP: Use Google images to find interesting family tree designs, old ahnentafels, and other pictures to illustrate your own genealogy.
