Louis Philippe II D'Orleans - Killed By The Revolution He Supported
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2022
- Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, duc de Chartres, and later on duc d'Orléans, also known as Philippe d'Orléans and Philippe Égalité after 1792, was a French prince of the blood born at the Château de Saint-Cloud on 13 April 1747. He was guillotined in Paris on 6 November 1793. He was the father of the French king Louis-Philippe I.
Son of Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans and Louise-Henriette de Bourbon, Princess of the Blood, he was titled Duke of Montpensier at his birth in 1747 and then, on the death of his grandfather, Louis, Duke of Orléans, he was given the title of Duke of Chartres. He descended in the male line from the regent Philippe II d'Orléans and King Louis XIII, but also from King Louis XIV through Françoise-Marie de Bourbon, the wife of the regent and legitimate daughter of Louis XIV and the Marquise de Montespan.
Louis Philippe has become infamous due to his vote in favour of the execution of his cousin King Louis XVI.

I have never ever been a fan of Orléans as a whole. These are people who betrayed the King when he needed them the most. He should have supported the king. I felt bad for most of the people who were killed during the revolution except Louis Phillipe and Robespierre. He might have thought he could have the throne for himself if the King was executed/ deposed off. But karma came in at the right time and served him a hot dish.
A great video as always. 👏👏
Thanks so much for watching again and sharing your thoughts with us.
His wife was from the illegitimate branch from Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan but she was enormously rich ...
Thank you very much for sharing this additional information with us Michel !
Excellent job! I think one of the strength's of your reportage is that you do not instruct your audience how to feel. We are smart enough to draw our own conclusions from the factual material you present. So, thank you very much.
I quite agree. I value the facts and the clear presentation. Very professional and enjoyable.
Thank you so much for the compliment Elliot !
@@TheKingsofFrance Hello Neike ❤️ I hope you don’t get tired seeing my comments. As I mentioned earlier, I’m a new subscriber, and I have been binge watching your videos. You awoken my love of history. I wish the algorithm on YT recommend your videos. I read it somewhere, though I’m not certain if it’s true, apparently when viewers keeps on liking and commenting it helps the channel to be recommended. I wish so! Sending you my best. X
p.s. in one of the videos, you introduced yourself, did I spell your name correctly?
oh, while perusing the comments, one of your loyal subscriber addressed you Nieke, hence is that the proper spelling of your name? x
So that's why Louis XVI and he got so bad relationship! It was nice to learn more about this man. Thank you very much! 🤗🌹
Thank you very much for watching and commenting Maarit !
Keep going with the videos, we love it!
Thank you so much hun !
Wonderful video as always. Dangerous times he lived in.
Thank you so much for watching again Jane !
Best channel on TH-cam!
That's quite the compliment, thank you !
So because Louis Phillipe had a failed career in the Navy and politics he betrayed his Kingdom and family. I can't think of a more fitting fate for such a cowardly, two faced man.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
I have to say I love the way you pronounce Chagrin
The video was perfect and beautifully done but Louis Philippe II is one of my least favorite French royals. The way he voted against his own cousin has always bothered me. There was a spot where you showed a portrait of a lady, then next to it a letter she had written. That really brought her to life for me. She suddenly looked so real.
Many people have little love for him, mostly due to the fact that he betrayed Louis XVI... Thank you for watching and commenting !
Voting against a cousin is nice. European royals usually went to war with cousins and killed them quite a number of times.
Oh dear. Horrid end. How family has changed. 😬 Thank you so much for this documentary. Means so much.
Glad you liked it !
@@TheKingsofFrance I always do my friend. Keep creating more!
I love these. would love to see Marie Therese of Savoy, Comtesse d'Artois and the Marquis de Sade.
Thank you for watching Robert. I'll take your suggestions and will see what I can do !
Fun fact, his son, the one who became king, didn't just marry a princess of Naples-Sicily, he married a princess of Naples-Sicily who happened to be the niece of Marie Antoinette, the daughter of her closest sister Maria Carolina. Needless to say that Maria Carolina had some strong reservations about her daughter marrying the son of the man she held responsible for the downfall of her sister's family and their eventual deaths, and both Louis Philippe and Maria Amalia went to bat hard for the match even though it was controversial (if I remember correctly, he had a sit down conversation with Maria Carolina where he apologized for his dad's actions and promised to answer any questions she had about him, and Maria Amalia just straight up told her dad she'd join a nunnery if he didn't agree to the marriage).
Other fun facts include that his other sons also died as a result fo tuberculosis they acquired while in prison for Louis Philippe's defection (which I imagine has to be a bit traumatizing, to be technically responsible for the deaths of three of your family members), and while in exile the three sons went to America for a bit and actually met a lot of our founding fathers, including Hamilton. For how interesting Égalité was, his son really had an equally interesting life himself.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
Thank you as always Nieke, an interesting life that did not end well.
Thank you as always for watching Robert, I'm honoured.
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you Nieke I hope your enjoying your Metime and relaxing between work.
Another well made video. Thank you for this. I've noticed a new layout in this video. Super cool.
Thank you so much Vishnu, and thank you for noticing the new lay out, I'm playing around a bit.
In my view; a despicable individual. Thanks for this video.
Thank you for watching and commenting !
Thank you for covering him! This is a great channel!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comment !
Fantastique 👏🏻👏🏻! Very complex family dynamic 👑! Merci 🌸♥️
Merci à toi Christine !
So Phillippe Egalite was a maternal great-grandson of Monseiur Le Prince (Hanry III Jules) (great and long expected video btw)
I'd say it's karma for voting his cousin's death. Don't really feel sorry for him (but I do for his children)
Thank you for watching again Marina !
Great video I enjoyed it 😀
Thank you Michelle!
Dang plot twist! I had no idea Louis Phillipe’s political actions were what condemned his family. Is the Prince de Lamballe (sorry if I spelled this super wrong!) the husband of Marie Antoinette’s mistress of the robes who was guillotined?
Thanks for watching, and thanks for AW for commenting !
Possibly the biggest acts of treachery in French history
So true
Thank you for watching !
Joseph Fouche with a lot more cases of treachery, not just against one person:
"Am I A Joke To You?!"
I love your channel!
Thank you so much for watching Evan, I really appreciate it !
I have a question about history and I do not know the answer. It doesn't have to do with this royal. This has to do with Queen Elizabeth the first. I would like to know exactly what she was buried in. Was she wearing any jewelry? Like a crown? What dress was she wearing? I've looked and looked and have googled but there's no answer. Can you please make a video on this. I want to know more about what royalty is buried with. Like crowns and treasures and stuff like that. Like if we will go to the church and open up her coffin. What would we see? I did some reading and I think you can see the E.R on the coffin. Because it was opened in the Victorian times or something like that. But if you could help that would be awesome!! I love history and this channel!
I would suggest you to check the youtube channel 'The Anne Boleyn Files' for more information about that... Claire Ridgway knows a lot more about the Tudors than I do !
Excellent work as always but I have to ask what's next
Next is something different, a video about 7 insane royals
@@TheKingsofFranceI'm guessing Carlos II El Hachizado George III Henry II Plantagenet and others
A premonition of what awaits America.
Thank you for watching and commenting Paul !
Always excellent scholarship.
Thank you so much !
In addition to the facts, Louis Philippe 2ème was also arranged to marry Maria Doroteia of Portugal but she rejected it and remained unmarried.
Thank you for sharing this additional information
Yeah you fail stuff blame others for it and the kill them and get killed later
Well, that definitely sums up the situation. Thank you for watching !
@@TheKingsofFrance thank your for making the vedio
Some would call his death Karma...
Thank you for watching and commenting
I can't wait you'll do a video about Napoleon Bonaparte or Emperor Napoleon I, one of the greatest known to man
He's on the list, although I cannot tell you when just yet !
@@TheKingsofFrance thanks! He's easily my favorite french "superstar" for me better than Louis XIV, i would have wonder if he didn't invade Russia, Europe would have been very different today
Another great video! Thank you. Wow voted against his cousin. That's crappy.
Thank you so much for watching again !
Great video. Thanks. Please do one about the $Trillions that France owes Haiti, and other Francophone black people! Thanks.
Thank you very much for watching and commenting.
So, was he trying to get more power in military by advocating the revolution, was he displeased by his own priviledges or just hating the king? I don’t get it. Interestingly he could not see he’s position at stake there also.
Great story that was how it was done.
Thank you so much for watching.
Great movie!
Thank you very much Sylvie !
25 June in 4 days!!!
It will be a bit later, due to my decision to drop down my volume of video releases from two to one... So sorry about this, but it's important for me to keep a good work-life balance.
@@TheKingsofFrance I know🥲
@@TheKingsofFrance no worries 👍
A messy life.
Thank you for watching !
Ironic he arrived at the concierge prison, on Marie Antoinette‘s birthday
Thanks for watching Joshua !

Guess who wrote the german wikipedia article about Philippe Égalité!?!?! lol
Lol I am going to hire you as my screenplay writer 😊
@@TheKingsofFrance I'm in. Wanna read my articles on serial killers? Oh wait, they're all in german...... Damn..... But I can do English, French, Latin or Mittelhochdeutsch, if you want.

Don't you mean REGICIDE?
Interesting
Well, that seems like a _very_ unfair execution, but yeah, as you say, suspicion was enough, unfortunately. That's so brilliant about the smallpox vaccination tho- wow! I think Catherine the Great of Russia did something similar?
0:21 OMG, is that meant to be a cat in his lap? I've never ever seen a portrait of a royal or noble with a cat, or heard of them owning one- I don't think they were popular as pets, but if this _is_ a cat, I highly approve!
@A W Oh yeah, I know pets in general were popular, & I've certainly seen loads of portraits with _other_ pet animals- I love the one of Margaret Tudor with a little monkey- but never a cat. I don't think cats were really a "posh person pet" til more recently- probably more hanging around catching mice & rats, & scamming milk & scraps. That's brilliant about Maria Theresa! She can go on my "historical people who did awesome stuff" list with the others.
@A W That's brilliant you know so much about royal portraits & pets tho!
@A W Aww, how lovely! I've never heard of a cat-loving king, but of course I'm a Louis XV fan now! I didn't know longhairs reached France & England that early, or that they were at Versailles, but "grey angora cats walking over the gaming tables" is such a beautiful & magical image, it makes Versailles seem more beautiful in my mind- & it's so typical of cats, lol. It's so cool that it's known he had a white Persian cat, so it might be the one in this painting! It looks like a shorthair, but then it's not exactly photorealism, so who knows. I do think there were kitchen cats in Tudor & Mediaeval England, & farm cats etc, but not so much as pampered indoor pets for rich people. I like hearing about exceptions tho, like an Irish monk who wrote a beautiful little poem about his cat in the margins of a manuscript he was copying (& from the name, "Pangur Ban", where "Ban" means "white", probably also a white cat!)
Thanks so much for watching again Beth !
not feeling sorry for him
I have been told the story of Mme du Pompidou that on the day of her execution, she did not go stoicly, but begging for her life. The normal cheering and jeers of the crowd was replaced with silence and the occasional gasps of horror. I was told that this was when the Revolution saw that the far-reaching guillotine had overstepped and beheaded an innocent. This lead to doubt and the eventually fall of the Revolution.
Is this anywhere near being correct or is it just a good story?
@@donijaya
Du Barry made it out to England safely, but she was greedy and after a while, went back to France to claim some jewelry gifted to her. She was arrested, tried and executed, mostly for her own stupidity. Mme du Pompadour is the one that I am talking about, the 1st mistress of the previous king. After she fell out of favor, she used her money for charitable reasons to the point where she was recognized for being generous and empathic to the people.
I believe you mean Mme du Barry, but yes. I read a biography of her life, she was literally dragged to the guillotine, crying and screaming.
De Pompadour died of natural causes. It was indeed Du Barry who was guillotined and begged for her life. For both ladies there is a video available on my channel, in case you'd like to dive into the subject a bit more. Thank you for watching !
