Louis Philippe

 

Born Oct. 6, 1773, in Paris; died Aug. 26, 1850, in Claremont, Great Britain. French king, 1830-48. Member of the junior (Orléans) branch of the Bourbon dynasty.

During the Great French Revolution, following the example of his father, Duke Philippe of Orleans, Louis Philippe renounced the title of duke of Chartres and took the last name Egalite (Equality). In 1792, in the French revolutionary army, he participated in the battles of Valmy and Jemappes. In 1793, along with C. F. Dumouriez (whose adjutant he was), Louis Philippe went over to the side of the Austrians. That same year, he settled in Switzerland. Prior to his return to France in 1814, he lived in exile in a number of European states and the United States; he lived in Sicily from 1810 to 1814. During the Restoration period he maintained ties with opposition-minded circles of the big bourgeoisie. During the July Revolution of 1830, Louis Philippe’s supporters (the Orleanists) succeeded in having him proclaimed king. Louis Philippe ruled in the interests of the upper elements of the bourgeoisie. He was overthrown by the February Revolution of 1848 and fled to Great Britain.
