Dauphin was the heir apparent to the throne of France under the Valois and Bourbon dynasties.

Guy VIII, Count of Vienne, had a dolphin on his coat of arms and had been nicknamed i). The title of Dauphin du Viennois descended in his family until 1349, when Humbert II sold his signeurie, called the Dauphiné, to King Philippe VI on condition that the heir of France assumed the title of i was Charles V. The last was the Duc d'Angoulême, son of Charles X, who renounced the title in 1830.

Louis-Charles, Duc de Normandie (future titular Louis XVII of France) 1789-1791 (in 1791 his title was changed to "Prince Royal"), Huck encounters two odd characters who turn out to be professional con men. One of them claims that he should be treated with deference, since he is really an impoverished English duke, and the other, not to be outdone, reveals that he is "really" the Dauphin, presumably Louis XVII.
