The partisans of Bourbon monarchy in France became divided
into two factions by the revolution of 1830, which deposed
Charles X. and raised Louis Philippe to the throne. Charles
X., brother of Louis XVI. and Louis XVIII., was in the direct
line of royal descent, from Louis XIV. Louis Philippe, Duke of
Orleans, who displaced him, belonged to a younger branch of
the Bourbon family, descending from the brother of Louis XIV.,
Philippe, Duke of Orleans, father of the Regent Orleans. Louis
Philippe, in his turn, was expelled from the throne in 1848,
and the crown, after that event, became an object of claim in
both families. The claim supported by the Legitimists was
extinguished in 1883 by the death of the childless Comte de
Chambord, grandson of Charles X. The Orleanist claim is still
maintained (1894) by the Comte de Paris, grandson of Louis
Philippe.
