Henri Antoine de Pracht

Henri Antoine (1715 - Present) is the third child and eldest son of Emperor Louis V and Empress-Consort Marie Johanne. He has been known as the favourite child of the Emperor and holds the title of Duc de Luxembourg.

Reign of Louis V - Son Altesse Imperiale, Duc de Luxembourg
Henri Antoine was born on the 14th of October, 1715 at the Chateau du Egmont in the capital city of Brussels. His birth was much celebrated within the Imperial Court as he was the first son of the Emperor. He was much loved by his family upon birth, who had been wanting a male after the previous two daughters.

He was placed into the care of the newly appointed Imperial Governess, the Baroness de Foix. He was appointed a tutor in the form of a court bishop and would receive a comprehensive education. He was somewhat spoilt, receiving many gifts as a child including horses, miniature weapons and art sets (he would have a particular interest in art). He would pass his time by carelessly and with ease at the court and would grow into an influential figure at the court, later in life often having discussions with his father on current issues in the Empire and what he thought of a course of action.

In 1729, plans were made for him to marry a noblewoman, Marie Claudine of Treves. The marriage would be overall happy and in contrast with his father, he would have no affairs. He currently has two children with Marie.
