Modern Courtesy Title
The title of "Duke of Touraine" was awarded in 1981 by the legitimist pretender, Alphonse of Bourbon, Duke of Cadiz and "Duke of Anjou", to his second son Louis Alphonse. Following his brother's death in 1984 and his father's one in 1989, he respectively became, under the same pretention, "Duke of Bourbon" and "Duke of Anjou". He is the current legitimist pretender to the title of King of France as "Louis XX".
As pretender, he didn't reaward the title so far, awarding his twin sons "Dauphin of France, Duke of Burgundy" and "Duke of Berry" respectively.
