- Charles X of France was born in Versailles on October 9, 1757 and died in Gorizia, Iliria, on November 6, 1836. Charles was king of France and Navarre between 1824 and 1830. He was the last Bourbon king of France, and the last king to have a coronation ceremony.

Hi, "The Kings of France"! As a french history (specially French revolution and napoleonic era) enthusiast, I really enjoy and appreciate your videos, you make them very concise and interesting, specially because of the images and music you use (I love classical music and painting too, and I find your taste very refined). I hope this channel gets bigger.
Warm greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
Thank you for your lovely compliments Eduardo ! I am honoured.
I could listen to your historic pieces all day! I think the days of the French kings was spent by this time.
Still Louis Philippe I had to follow, and Napoléon III, although I never really consider him a part of the succession... But you are right that their days were definitely counted.
Thanks for the video, always loved the sound of Charles X, such a perfect number and name for a king.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it !
He's the most inept and moronic monarch France has ever had.
The well known saying, which applies to Charles X especially, about the restored Bourbons:
They learnt nothing and forgot nothing.
Thank you so much for watching Patrick !
Talleyrand said it 🙂 He was SO right lol But, to be fair, he said it about the emigrant aristocrats who came back to France after 1814. Louis XVIII was a more clever than his younger brother. He knew things had changed. Charles X ? Not a bit ! lol
Paradoxically, if any of the last Bourbons had potential to make a good constitutional monarch... it was the one the revolution had murdered.
And before that happened, Louis XVI pointed out that his two younger brothers were "more royalist than the king".
Another great video. Thanks for your efforts in making history so interesting.
Thank you for the time you take out in your day to watch ! I'm honoured !
Very interesting. Probably the most unknown king of France. Glad to see someone covering his life.
Glad you liked the video Winnie !
These videos are great, I'm wondering if you know of any English language books on Charles X?
I don't really know of much books in english. My sources are usually not from English books, but I looked for you and I could find Charles X of France: His Life and Times. Vincent W. Beach on Amazon. I have not read it though.
Hello, I am just catching up on your wonderful, fascinating and brilliant historical videos. This was absolutely marvellous, beautifully presented and narrated as always. Charles X certainly did not learn from the French Revolution or his exile in England where he left enormous debts on his return to France. He sounds quite stupid and delusional and received what he deserved and was fortunate not to have lost his head! Xxxx
Hi Laura, good to see you ! I hope you are well!
Consistently fabulous! 👏
Many thanks 😊
What a lovely compliment Ann, thank you so much for your support !
Thank you so much for this wonderful video.
I enjoy your videos immensely. They are so very informative and well narrated. You have a very pleasing voice and you enunciate every word so precisely. A true pleasure.
Thank you for that lovely compliment, I really appreciate it !
Another great video !!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate you being here !
Another great video. Bon weekend
Merci Alison, I hope you are well !
I love your videos you speak very well I’m learning English and the French history are my favorites !
I'm glad you like my videos. Good luck with your study of English !
These videos you make are always fascinating and informative. And it is always quite comical to see how they bring out those nostalgic for and more than just historically interested in monarchy/royalty. Of course, many of these people are also eager to tell us how they are related to Charlemagne, or how their great great great great grandfather...well, you get the point. Salute!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I am pleased you are enjoying my videos !
Charles would have done well to heed the words of Shakespeare: "...When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner."
Thank you for sharing that appropriate Shakespeare quote with us Robert !
Are you very familiar with his work ?
@@TheKingsofFrance You're welcome. I am moderately familiar. I know more than the average, but not academic level. That line is from "Henry V" my second favorite play, so I am a tad more familiar with it.
@@robertpizor577 I'm really not that familiar, but I did recognise that line cos I'm partway through Henry V in a tv series (along with Richard II, Henry IV & Richard III), & it IS a cool play! Pretty sure Macbeth will always be my fave tho, cos witches & early Mediaeval Scottish kings
If I can weigh in… I’d say Hamlet. Seen a movie with Mel Gibson as Hamlet once. Really good. I’ve also seen Much ado about nothing and Romeo and Julia of course, but I prefer Hamlet…
@@TheKingsofFrance Oh Hamlet is an absolute classic. My #1 play is "Richard II" because of the themes of power and kingship. I've seen the "Hamlet" adaptation you're talking about as well, and it is very good.
In the future can you make videos about Maria Josepha of Savoye or Marie Adelaide Duchess of Chatress
Yes, there are on the list ! Thank you for watching !
Charles X and other members of his family are actually buried in the crypt of a monastery in Gorizia,Italy -right on the border with Slovenia -but of course it was once part of the Austrian empire.And as a postscript -is the 1830 Revolution in Paris which deposed Charles X the setting for the musical "Les Miserables" based on Victor Hugo of course?Or is the setting the 1848 Revolution which deposed Louis Phillipe?
I have doublechecked, according to my information the monestary is effectively in Slovenia though.The setting for Les Miserables is the June Rebellion in 1832.
I loved this video . Your videos are so fantastic many facts about French history it's fun to learn
Thank you so much for watching !
In London, in Apsley House, is a Portrait of His Majesty King Charles X.
Also King Louis the 18th.
King Louis XVII is my favorite King 👑
Wow.
Very nice.
Very informative!! Merci 🌸
Merci à toi Christine ! I hope you are well !
Good King Charles.
Very interesting! 🤗👍 Thank you for clearing this crownheritage for me! ❤️
Thank you for watching Maarit !
@@TheKingsofFrance But of course! 🤗👍❤️
Funny isn't it that all the great European royal houses never hit the XX mark. In the UK 'eight' seems to be the cut off point. Edward VIII, Henry VIII...
I think you might be seeing meaning where there is none...
@@AAwildeone You're probably right!
@@cerberus6654 Just want you to know, I wasn't trying to be snarky or sarcastic, or anything like that. And who knows, maybe they did it on purpose...naming Prince William as first born instead of getting a Henry IX lol I don't think anyone ever really knows why those people do the things they do Cheers!
@@AAwildeone Soren, no worries!
Thank you for watching again ! I really appreciate your continued support !
Not quite the last Bourbon King as they are still going strong in Spain.
Well the last Bourbon King on the French Throne then ! Thank you for watching !
Viva el Rey, Felipe VI de España!
Yes. Funny fact - King Juan Carlos abdicated in 2014 in favor of his 48 year old son Philip, who is now king as Philip VI. When Juan Carlos was asked why he stepped down he said he didn't want his son to grow old waiting for the throne. Now I wonder who he could possibly have been taking a shot at with that reply lol.
One could also consider Charles' successor Louis-Philippe as a Bourbon as he was from a sideline of this family.
And in Italy (when it was still a geographical term...) there were Bourbon rulers after Charles, in Parma and Naples-Sicily
Lovely video. Are you from France?
No, I’m from Belgium (Flanders)…
Great history video I enjoyed it 👍😀
Thank you Michelle, always nice to see you !!
Excellente!!!
Merci à toi !
🏰👑⚔️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚔️👑🏰
Long live Louis the XVIII of France
Why?
@@AAwildeone What about king charles X of France?
Merci hun, I'm always happy to see you !
@@TheKingsofFrance Merci to you
They cant live any longer if they are already dead. But yes the french monarchy is iconic and should still be recognized today in my opinion.
Charles X Was Last King Of The Senior Bourbon Line,The Direct Descendants Of King Louis XIV. The Next King Louis Phillippe I,King Of The French,Came From The Cadet=Younger Line Of The Bourbons,The House Of Orleans,The Direct Descendants Of Louis XIV'S Younger Brother,Phillippe I,Duc Of Orleans. 👑❤💙❤💜🇫🇷
If I am not mistaken, Louis Philippe was considered to be the first king of the Orléans line though, which effectively makes Charles X the last Bourbon King. Thank you so much for watching !
And am born as A DaughTer
Isn’t New Orleans named after Phillippe II? Also can you do a video about Beinville and D’Iberville?
You are correct Megan, it is named after Philippe II D'Orléans, Regent of France for the minor Louis XV. As to videos about Beinville and D'Iberville, I might consider them but it'll be at a later time as I slowly want to start focussing at an earlier stage of French history.
I wish France was a Monarchy today.
💔😞😢😔🙏🤲➕👑
Thanks for watching.
I love your accent where you from ? Im not sur it's french. 😅
You're right, it's not french. I'm Belgian and live in Flanders, so my accent is Flemish.
Very interesting, i didn't know much about him
Thank you for watching Ernesto !
Juan Carlos de Borbón y Bórbon seems to me quite à Bourbon King, so is his reigning son.
Spanish bourbon. My channel's head focus is French bourbon...
@@TheKingsofFrance thanks for the explanation 😊
Love your posts, but since Edinburgh does come up quite often can I correct your pronunciation? It should be more like 'Edinbruh, not 'Edinburg', emphasis on the 'Ed' part of the word. The 'G' might appear in the spelling but it doesn't appear in the speech any more!
Apologies. Thank you for pointing this out.
@@TheKingsofFrance Oh, no apologies necessary (you should hear my terrible attempt at a French accent!)
Another great video. Charles X should have learned from the past.
Thank you for watching and commenting, as always !
1st comment, yay! Well done again!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I am so thankful for your continuous support !
@@TheKingsofFrance You deserve it. Your videos are great fun and I enjoy them a lot. Greetings to Belgium!
How on earth did even the children have white and gray hair? Was it all powder or was it wigs?
Wigs ! Thank you for watching !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤ Thank you for watching again !
What is your opinion of the Ultrecht Treaty?
I'm not sure if I have an opinion of it one way or the other... It is history and what happened, happened. Thank you for watching !
Good video
Thank you your highness !
@@TheKingsofFrance of course
👑⚜️⚜️⚜️👑
Oh,Have You Done A Video On Louis Phillippe I,King Of The French Yet? He Was The Last King Of The The Royal Capetian Line(Descendants Of Hugh Capet). The Monarchy Was Abolished,Then The Empire Was Briefly Restored Under Napoleon I's Nephew,Who Declared Himself Emperor Of The French As Napoleon III.
Not yet, but I will ! Thank you for watching !
Long live Charles and the Bourbon dynasty! May they return to their rightful spot once again and topple the worthless Republic!
Thank you for watching !
@@TheKingsofFrance You're most welcome
You must be kidding sir... restore monarchy in France? French don't want that ever again.
@@cristinasousa1588 Firstly, are you European? And secondly, have you researched monarchism in France? Almost half of the population wants to be a monarchy, constitutional, but better than anything.
@@imberus5801 yes, i am sir. I was born in France. I don't see why people would want a monarchy. No chance, those days are gone. You live in a dream. That's just my opinion.

Thank you for watching !
Good King Louis the 18th.
Not strictly true: Louis Phillipe (who succeeded him) was also a Bourbon.
Well he was of the house of Orléans though. So basically officially, he was the first (and the last) King of the House of Orléans.
@@TheKingsofFrance The Orléans family was just a branch of the House of Bourbon.
Also not true, the last and only remaining Bourbon King is Felipe VI, King of Spain.
@@theunknownpersonism I'm not sure what you're suggesting - that the King of Spain is also the King of France? He hasn't, to my knowledge, made any such claim.
@@patavinity1262 By Bourbon King, I mean a male member of the House of Bourbon who reigned or is reigning as King of an independent country. With that definition, Felipe VI of Spain is the last and only remaining Bourbon King.
The mistress pictured was not as pretty as his wife... He must have needed 👓...
Well perhaps they painted an overly flattering portrait of the wife haha ! Who knows.
@@TheKingsofFrance Lol
Yeah, if you want everything to go back to normal, but where was the four of the French of evolution?
Rich people's problems.
Thank you for watching and commenting Paul !
Emmanuel Macron likes theses stories,
And here my dumb ass thought Louis XVI was the last Bourbon king.
And thats why my channel exists ... 😄 ... Hope you enjoyed the video !
@@TheKingsofFrance I did. Keep up the good work.
There was Louis XIX and Henri V
The end of the video explains all. But effectively, Charles X was the last Bourbon King as Louis Philippe I was of the house of Orléans. Thank you for watching and commenting !
@@TheKingsofFrance Louis xix and henri v are disputed
Thats a beutifull painting of charles and marie at the begining the unicorn and the lilly represnt king solomon and wisdom etc ..the lion and harp represent David and no wonder as emperor charligman had king solomon and king David on his crown ...if we meditate that virgo is encrowned with the 12 stars of leo (the woman with a crown of 12 stars in the book of apocalypse)...we can understand that in christian catholic ritual we are like the lions and the eucharist is like the unicorn ...for the unicorn was tamed by a virgin and was killed by the lions in the great hunt ...we killed jesus christ ...but the unicorn after being killed took a different form ...like christ who was resurrected and comes to us under a different species ...we realise theas things are sacred
Thanks for watching.
Vive la monarchie
