Charles Xavier de France, Duc de Bourgogne, was the oldest son of King Philip de Croy and Queen Isabella de Croy, who died at the age of 7.
The young Duke was pushed off a wooden horse by one of his playmates in 1608. As he was recognized for his kindness, he did not tell anyone about this, in order to prevent his friend from getting into any trouble. After this incident, the Duke's health started to deteriorate quickly. The family's physician, Dr. Barbier, decided to operate on him in 1609. The Duke was very brave, as he was operated on while he was conscious. Knowing that he would die, the King had him baptised on 29 August 1609. By November, the Duke was bound to his bed, unable to move his legs. Dr. Barier diagnosed him with tuberculosis of the bone after his death, in December 1609.
This character's profile is based on the informations I found about Louis Joseph Xavier de France, Duke of Burgundy.

Queen Isabella died at the age of 7? I think you mean Charles Xavier of France, Duke of Burgandy, was seven years old when his mother died? Awww.... so sad! :( I wonder if he's ever close to his mama.
Instead of writing "Duke of Burgundy's health", I would suggest writing "Duke's health", but it sort of makes sense. :)
I think you mean "physician", not "physicist". A physician is a medical doctor; a physicist is a scientist who studies physics or physical bodies and laws of nature.
How come he must be baptized twice? Baptism, even in Roman Catholic theology, signifies entry into Christendom. If he has been baptized as an infant, and it is believed that he is justified for salvation, then why would he be baptized again? Perhaps, he did not believe and his baptism as a child marked his true belief? At that point, that would be what Baptists would refer to as "Believer's Baptism". I am not sure whether or not that was around during the time of the Reformation or Enlightenment.
I wonder how the Duke died of consumption (archaic name for tuberculosis) and how his relatives did not get caught. Did his parents or relatives die too?
Who is the heir in your game? Who is the heir of the Crown?
Keep on going with the neighborhood progression. It's keeping me interesting, though I would like to know more about your lower-class Sims and castle servants. :)
No, the Queen is well and alive XD (you can click on her name in the chart about the Duke's Parents and you will see that there's no death year). She's old right now, but she's quite healthy and I'm sure she will live for another couple of years (it doesn't really matter, since the Crown Prince is already old enough to be crowned and rule without a regent).
What I wanted to say was that Prince Charles Xavier died at the age of seven XD I know, the formulation was kind of unclear ^^"
Also, thank you for pointing out the errors ^^" I'm sorry I was so careless. I will correct them today.
I'm also sorry about the mistake about his baptism XD
It was tuberculosis of the bone, a form of Osteomyelitis. From what I know, others don't get infected easily with that form of tuberculosis.
Prince Charles was the heir until he died (in 1609). After that, the Kingdom didn't have a heir until 1611, when Prince Jean-Gaston was born. Right now he is the heir (Dauphin de France).
I will start writing a story about lower-class residents, but it will take some time, because it will happen during the next two rotations.
