The shortest recorded reign I could find was King Louis XIX of France. His reign began on August 2, 1830 and ended the same exact day. It lasted an impressive fifteen minutes in total. Basically, good old Louis was the Dauphin of France, being the eldest son of King Charles X. After the July Revolution, Charles X was forced to sign papers abdicating his claim to the throne. This abdication made Louis and his wife the king and queen of France. The new king's embarrassingly brief reign consisted of him listening to his ambitious wife demand that he not sign the abdication papers while his father wept in a corner. Being king is fun.
