Louis-Philippe I Quotes

King of the French (1773-1850)

Louis Philippe I (6 October 1773 – 26 August 1850) was King of the French from 1830 to 1848. He was proclaimed king in 1830 after Charles X was forced to abdicate. His reign, known as the July Monarchy, was the golden age for French literature and music, but he lost popularity after failures of national economy that started in 1846. He was forced to abdicate in 1848 and lived out his life in exile in Great Britain.
