Louis XV of France had several children, known as his offspring, who played various roles in the royal court. His most notable children included Louis, Dauphin of France, who was the heir apparent, and Marie Adélaïde de France, who married into the royal families of Europe, strengthening political alliances. The offspring of Louis XV were part of the Bourbon dynasty, which ruled France for many years. Their marriages and alliances were significant in shaping European politics during the 18th century, as they connected with other royal families, including those in Spain and Austria.
