The titles of King of New France was added by his son and heir, who proclaimed himself King Louis XVII de France, et II de la Nouvelle France. After the deposing of Napoleon, Louis was restored to the throne of France. His son succeeded him, taking the name Louis XVII (thereby explicitely denying the legitimacy of the king who had succeeded his father, who was subsequently referred to by the name Louis-Stanislas to avoid the numbering confusion), but he only ruled France for 3 years before being in turn deposed, and returning to Canada.
