Jean-Philippe (English: John-Philip) is the illegitimate son of Francis and Lola. He was officially claimed by his father in The Lamb and the Slaughter, receiving the title of 1st Baron of Velay. He returns to French Court in Leaps of Faith.
Season One
In Dirty Laundry, Lola finds out she's pregnant with Francis' baby. At first she tried to get an abortion but Mary stopped her right before the operation was about to begin. She went into labor during the season finale.
Season Two
In The Plague, the baby boy is being taken care of by his mother through most of the episode, when his father arrives to bring them to safety. His father mostly keeps his distance from him but when he starts to cry and his mother is nowhere to be seen. Francis holds him and decides he can't send him away.
In The Lamb and the Slaughter, the baby is finally christened in a ceremony where he is named Jean-Philippe Valois-Angouleme 1st Baron of Velay with Mary Stuart named as his godmother.
Season Three

In Leaps of Faith, Jean-Philippe and Narcisse return to French Court.
