King Louis I of Spain (Spanish: Luis, August 25, 1707 – August 31, 1724), born Louis-Philippe of Spain, was the eldest son of Philip V of Spain by his first Queen consort, Maria Louisa of Savoy. On 20 January 1722 he married Louise Elisabeth of Orléans (1709–1742), a daughter of Philippe II, Duc d'Orléans. She did not fit into the religious Spanish court well and she often refused to speak to her husband. There were no children of the marriage. Louis ruled for a short period between the time his father Philip V abdicated in his favour (15 January 1724) and his death from smallpox, just over 7 months later. On his death his father returned to the throne. The only coins minted in Mexico during his reign never reached Spain as the ship containing them was wrecked in the Caribbean. An expedition to recover them is under way.
