LOUIS PHILIPPE See also:JOSEPH , DI=E of (1747—1793), called PHILIPPE EGALITE, son of Louis Philippe, See also:duke of Orleans, and of See also:Louise Henriette of See also:Bourbon-See also:Conti, was See also:born at St See also:Cloud
on the 13th of See also:April 1747. Having See also:borne the See also:title of duke of See also:Montpensier until his grandfather's See also:death in 1752, he became duke of See also:Chartres, and in 1769 married Louise See also:Marie See also:Adelaide de Bourbon-Penthievre, daughter and heiress of the duke of Penthievre, See also:grand See also:admiral of See also:France, and the richest heiress of the See also:- TIME (0.

time. Her See also:wealth made it certain that he would be the richest See also:man in France, and he determined to See also:play a See also:part equal to that of his See also:great-grandfather, the See also:regent, whom he resembled in See also:character and debauchery. As duke of Chartres he opposed the plans of See also:Maupeou in 1771, and was promptly exiled to his See also:country See also:estate of Villers-Cotterets (See also:Aisne). When Louis XVI. came to the See also:throne in 1774 Chartres still found himself looked on coldly at See also:court; Marie Antoinette hated him, and envied him for his wealth, wit and freedom from See also:etiquette, and he was not slow to return her hatred with scorn. In 1778 he served in the See also:squadron of D'Orvilliers, and was See also:present in the See also:naval See also:battle of See also:Ushant on the 27th of See also:July 1778. He hoped to see further service, but the See also:queen was opposed to this, and he was removed from the See also:navy, and given the honorary See also:post of See also:colonel-See also:general of hussars. He then abandoned himself to See also:pleasure; he often visited See also:London, and became an intimate friend of the See also:prince of See also:Wales (afterwards See also:George IV.); he brought to See also:Paris the " anglo-See also:mania," as it was called, and made jockeys as fashionable as they were in See also:England. He also made himself very popular in Paris by his large gifts to the poor in time of See also:famine, and by throwing open the gardens of the Palais Royal to the See also:people.

meeting of the notables in 1787 he had succeeded his See also:father as duke of Orleans, and showed his liberal ideas, which were largely learnt in England, so boldly that he was believed to be aiming at becoming constitutional See also:- KING

king of France. In See also:November he again showed his liberalism in the lit de See also:justice, which Brienne had made the king hold, and was again exiled to Villers-Cotterets. The approaching See also:convocation of the states-general made his See also:friends very active on his behalf; he circulated in every bailliage the See also:pamphlets which F. J. Sieyes had See also:drawn up at his See also:request, and was elected in three—by the noblesse of Paris, • Villers-Cotterets and Crepy-en-See also:Valois. In the estate of the See also:nobility he headed the liberal minority under the guidance of Adrien See also:Duport, and led the minority of See also:forty-seven noblemen who seceded from their own estate (See also:June 1789) and joined the Tiers Etat. The part he played during the summer of 1789 is one of the most debated points in the See also:history of the Revolution. The court accused him of being at the bottom of every popular See also:movement, and saw the " See also:gold of Orleans " as the cause of the Reveillon See also:riot and the taking-of the See also:Bastille, as the republicans later saw the " gold of See also:Pitt " in every germ of opposition to themselves. There can be no doubt that he hated the queen, and bitterly resented his See also:long disgrace at court, and also that he sincerely wished for a thorough reform of the See also:government and the See also:establishment of some such constitution as that of England; and no doubt such friends as Adrien Duport and Choderlos de Laclos, for their own reasons, wished to see him king of France. The best testimony for the behaviour of Orleans during this summer is the testimony of an See also:English See also:lady, Mrs See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

He indeed became so disgusted with the false position of a pretender to the See also:crown, into which he was being forced, that he wished to go to See also:America, but, as the comtesse de Buffon would not go with him, he decided to remain in Paris. He was again accused, unjustly, of having caused the See also:march of the See also:women to See also:Versailles on the 5th of See also:October. La Fayette, jealous of his popularity, persuaded the king to send the duke to England on a See also:mission, and thus get him out of France, and he accordingly remained in England from October 1789 to July 1790. On the 7th of July he took his seat in the See also:Assembly, and on the 2nd of October both he and See also:Mirabeau were declared by the Assembly entirely See also:free of any complicity in the events of October.
