==== Patrilineal descent ====
{{Chart top|text-align=left|Patrilineal descent}}
Louis' patriline is the line from which he is descended from father to son.

[[Patrilineal descent]] is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that if King Louis were to choose a historically accurate house name it would be Robertian, as all his male-line ancestors have been of that house.

Louis is a member of the [[House of Bourbon]], a branch of the [[Capetian dynasty]] and of the [[Robertians]].

Louis' patriline is the line from which he is descended from father to son. It follows the Bourbon kings of France, and the Counts of Paris and Worms. This line can be traced back more than 1,200 years from Robert of Hesbaye to the present day, through Kings of France & Navarre, Spain and Two-Sicilies, Dukes of Parma and Grand-Dukes of Luxembourg, Princes of Orléans and Emperors of Brazil. It is one of the oldest in Europe.
