The first ruler of Viennois in southeastern France to bear this name was Guigues IV Dauphin in the 12th century; the name was borne so regularly by his successors that it came to be taken for a title peculiar to rulers of Viennois.

Charles of France, made dauphin of Viennois in 1349, became king of France in 1364 and granted Dauphiné to his son, the future Charles VI, in 1368, thus establishing the precedent whereby the French king's eldest son became dauphin.
