Another great video! Thank you! He went through so much. I didn't realize his reign was as long as it was. I'm glad he decided to leave when he did. The restoration of the Bourbons and Napoleon III tried to do the same thing. Restore what was before the revolution and Waterloo. It can't be done.
Thank you so much for watching again !
@@TheKingsofFranceyes, a great video, indeed (better than the one about Charles X, his predecessor).
I'm so happy to finally see this King on the channel. There has always been something intriguing to me about the Kings that reigned between Napoleon I and Napoleon III. They didn't have the same type of power as the earlier Ancien Regime Kings, but each one had such a peculiarly different personality. I especially find the relationship between King Louis Philippe and Tsar Nicholas I very interesting. Apparently they were very good friends during the Napoleonic Wars, but the autocratic Tsar grew to despise the so called "Citizen King" and thought very little of him during his time as the King of the French, considering him weak and incapable of governing the people of France properly. The Tsar certainly ruled his people with an iron fist as did the Austrian Emperor and the King of Prussia, more or less as a way to prevent any possible future revolutions. It worked for Russia as there were no rebellions during the period of 1848-1849, but the Prussians and Austrians both had to crush uprisings. Even calling upon the Tsar for assistance when things looked particularly bad. Perhaps had Louis Philippe remained friends with Tsar Nicholas I he, like the others, could have called upon his old friend for assistance to send weapons and troops and crush the French Revolution of 1848. If that had happened Napoleon III would never have gained power and as we all know he wasn't a very good leader for France and cost many lives with his Crimean war, colonization of Vietnam, Intervention in Mexico and war with Prussia. When it was all over Napoleon III was strongly frowned upon and considered a very reckless leader in contrast to his uncle who is glorified to this day.
Thank you so much Winnie ! and thank you for sharing this additional information, a very interesting read indeed !
Actually, the relationship between king Louis-Philippe, and czar/emperor Nicholas I turned sour/"south" due to the outcome of the 1830 revolution, as czar/emperor Nicholas I accused king Louis-Philippe of "betraying" king Charles X (cousin of Louis-Philippe, and "legitimate" king of France), and the "God-given" cause of the nobility, by embracing liberalism, and the bourgeoisie.
What a very interesting life story, and the many ups and Downs he faced in his life, thank you Nieke as always.
Thank you Robert, I hope you're well !
@@TheKingsofFrancehi Nieke, I'm well thank you for asking, hope your well and your cute cat hope she's well to.
Thank you once again. One day I will try to watch from the 1st French King until the last.
There's more kings to come so be sure to stick around !!
@@TheKingsofFrance have faith I will be staying. I may not comment but am here watching
You'd be having a lot of watching to do.
Thank you for your work!
I'm so glad he was against the execution of King Louis XVI though his father was for it. Thank you so much for this video! 🥰
Thank you Maarit !
That didn't help him/make any difference in the end.
So informative and, again, beautifully illustrated. Love the two photographs at the end.👍❤️
Another success Madame!! Could I request a video of a rather obscure sibling of Louis XVI Marie Clotilde of France 🇫🇷 Queen of Sardinia
I'll add her to my list, it'll be quite some time before I get to her though, I hope that's okay !
@@TheKingsofFrance yes of course happy to wait looking forward to more awesome videos
I have always found Louis-Philippe to be a rather interesting fellow, the fact that he didn't try to bring back the absolute monarchy after Charles X's efforts and the fact that he brought up the bourgeoisie in such a manner would, had he been king a decade or two earlier, I feel really would have had a much larger negative impact on his reign. I wonder what Louis XIV would have thought of the situation, as he was almost the embodiment of the height of absolutism.
Thank you for watching and commenting !
Had he brought back absolute monarchy it's likely he would have been executed or at least exiled unless he was successful in asking for assistance from other monarchial powers for assistance.
@@winnienguyen4420 Indeed - and if he had managed to do so, I wonder if it would have continued into the modern day.
@@nathanpayne6765 very good question. It's certainly a possibility as what happened with England.
Hi, Awesome live history video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. How are you and Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well my cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani. He sends his purrs. Have a great day 😀
Does Benjamin like playing in the snow ? Or does he stay inside in the wintertime ? Rani isn't allowed to play outside, she's an indoor kitty...
This Is A Very Fascinating Video On Louis Phillippe I,King Of The French,Meaning He Was King Of The People,Not An Absolute Monarch Who Controlled The State. He Was A Very Progressive King Who Changed With The Tumultuous Times And He Would've Made Great King,Had He Been Allowed To Reign Longer. He And His Host Queen Victoria Were Actually Cousins,Louis Phillippe Was Descended From Elizabeth Charlotte Of The Palatine Who Was The Niece Of Victoria's Direct Ancestor Sophia,Electress Of Hanover,Who Was The Mother Of George I,King Of Great Britain. Elizabeth Charlotte Was The Second Wife Of Phillippe I,Duc Of Orleans,Mother Of His Son Phillippe II,Duc Of Orleans The Progenitor Of The House Of Orleans!!! 👑🇨🇵👑🇬🇧❤💙💜
Glad you like the video ! Thank you for sharing the additional information.
I’m French and i know no other French people where I live. I wonder now how we got here
Thank you so much for watching Rebecca !
Clementine is the mother of Ferdinand I of Bulgaria ho actually had homosexual tendencies like Monseiur Phillippe
He was King of the french and not King of France which means he was not an absolute monarch.
He indeed wasn't, he was a constitutional monarch !
It is a ridcules with the titel king of the french. King France is also a constition monarchy.
Thanks for sharing about the most intriguing time of french history. Revolution changed the face of monarchy for better.
Thanks you as always Ambreen ! I hope you're well !
I find Louis Philippe to be exceedingly unlucky as pre-Revolution he probably would have been seen as fairly moderate, but post-Revolution he didn't stand a chance during 1848 especially. It was a surprise not that he was deposed, but that the other great houses of Europe weren't toppled too.
Good point actually. I must agree and it is (as far as I know) this fact why Victoria, although she did extend him with a lot of kindness, did worry about her association with him, as she feared it would damage the strength of the English Monarchy.
Russia was considered the Gendarme of Europe and was the strongest European power from 1815-1855 and was more than willing to assist Monarchs with putting down rebellions ASAP as seen with the Hungarian's revolutions against Austria. The autocratic Tsar Nicholas I would have nothing of it. The Holy Alliance of Russia, Prussia, and Austria definitely had a monopoly on continental Europe during that particular period with Prussia annexation of the rest of Germany by 1866 and becoming the strongest continental power by far until 1918. The British could have challenged them and would have won on the sea but definitely lost on the land.
I wrote an article about his father for an exhibition (as well as the german and french Wikipedia), which was a lot of fun, yet also very dramatic.
Louis Philippe is an utterly interesting character in french history. I'm still waiting for a biopic about him, bc that would cover a lot of crucial french history.
Your research is as always immaculate. I'm sure you ended up having material for five videos about him.
Also: I loooove the way you pronounce "Württemberg" - the epitome of cuteness! Thanks for another little masterpiece.
Greetz to Belgium!
Haha I just said Württemberg a couples of times to see if I say it in a particular way, but I can't hear anything odd haha ! Thanks for watching again. His father will follow in a few weeks.
@@TheKingsofFrance I didn't say odd! It's just cute. You definitely said it right. I already got used to your pronounciation of "Reims". Please don't worry about it bc you DON'T make mistakes, it just sounds really cute. Let me speak flamish and I will likely sound ridiculous! *lol*
@@reniasva Always willing to give you some lessons haha !
@@TheKingsofFrance I would probably die out of utter shame! *lol* 4 languages is my limit and I achieved that. Although flamish sounds intriguing.....
@@reniasvaspeaking four languages makes you a polyglot; definitely not "limited".
hurrah! at last a vid on our dear "Chartist King"! I've always been oddly very sympathetic to Louis Philipe WHAT a life and what a change of roles he swapped in and out of in his life eh? I always think of him as the chummy king who was never without his umbrella :)
Hope you liked it !!!
@@TheKingsofFrance very much so! :)
Can I ask why he was called the "Chartist King"? I imagine it refers to a French charter of some kind, but it got my attention cos he was king at the time of the Chartist movement in England (& I have an cool convict ancestor who was a Chartist). Was it also a charter with more rights for the "common people"?
@@beth7935 spot on :) it also refers to the Charter of 1830 which ushered in the July Monarchy and Louis Philipe's agreement to be King OF the French as opposed to King OF France and the Charter being a compromise between monarchists and republicans....
@@thisisdavid2 Thanks very much! I like "King of the French", & I see why it was a monarchist-republican compromise: I've always thought "King/Queen of Scots" & "King/Lady of the English" sound more egalitarian; like they're "one of us", & like they care about their _people,_ not just the country as their possession & source of wealth.
Interesting to know a monarch of france was so passionate about the revolution, and lived such an interesting life! Great video!!
Thank you so much !
And yet, his (own) regime/reign was cut short by a revolution; oh, the irony...
Surprising that he actually had such a long reign... And I didn't know that Victoria was so generous to him.
Thanks for being here again Cerberus. Victoria WAS generous to him, although I heard it was with some reservation, as she was worried about the impact her association with him would have on her own reign...
Victoria was also very friendly to Napoleon III during his reign and also allowed him to exile in England after he lost the Franco-Prussian War. I do find that a bit odd as Napoleon III was certainly a dictator ( Lincoln and U.S. Grant particularly thought so) and with him being the nephew of the original Napoleon who despised England probably more than any other country I would figure him living there would be out of the question. But I suppose Victoria was just a very generous and forgiving queen.
@@winnienguyen4420 Having read an enormous amount about Victoria the last things I would call her are 'generous' and 'forgiving'. She was intensely selfish personally and she held grudges for years. I will look more into but I am suspecting that she was 'advised' to accept Louis Napoleon (probably by Disraeli) for all sorts of political reasons at the time. She disliked his wife, Empress Eugénie, who had made it clear that to her, Victoria was a boring, dowdy frump.
@@cerberus6654 It was never made 100% clear in history books whether Victoria supported France or Prussia during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 as she didn't get involved. Both countries were run by tyrants so I suppose she just felt neutrality was the best option. But she certainly had no problem supporting France during the Crimean war, which was basically a waste of British lives over the Ottoman Empire which was crumbling anyway.
@@winnienguyen4420 The Crimean war was NOT fought against the Ottoman Empire. It was fought against the Russians. Crimea had been theirs since the time of Catherine.
Well I guess karma truly is a bitch,what goes around come back around. Very interesting and informative thank you
Thank you very much !
Thank you so much for wonderfully interesting videos! It's such a pleasure to watch them! Indeed, Louis Philippe's life worths novels and movies! Hope for new videos about European and, probably, Russian royalty.
Thank you so much for watching again. More videos about other royal houses will be following shortly. And yes, Russian royalty will be included !
@@TheKingsofFrancethis may sound "silly", but over the last several months, I've been "matching": king Umberto I (of Italy) to czar/emperor Alexander III (of Russia), king Victor Emmanuel III (of Italy) to czar/emperor Nicholas II (of Russia), kings Charles X, and Louis-Philippe (of France) to czar/emperor Nicholas I (of Russia), and emperor Napoléon III (of France) to czar/emperor Alexander II (of Russia).
Another great video. Thanks for your efforts in making history so interesting.
Thank you. How is Ramadan going ? Just a few more days right ??
@@TheKingsofFrance well it's gonna end soon so eid will might come very soon
Thank you for the interesting video. It was a crazy time in France. Hard to know which side to be on.
Thank you so much Jane !
Interesting how Louis Philippe came to power in one revolution (1830); sandwiched between having to flee because of two other revolutions (1789 and 1848).
Louis Philippe and Charles X were fifth cousins; both sharing King Louis XIII & Anne of Austria as Great x4 grandparents:
Louis XIII > Philippe I, Duke of Orleans > Philippe II, Duke of Orleans > Louis, Duke of Orleans > Louis Philippe I, Duke of Orleans > Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orleans > King Louis Philippe
Louis XIII > Louis XIV > Louis, Dauphin of France > Louis, Duke of Burgundy > Louis XV > Louis, Dauphin of France > Charles X
Thank you for sharing Jason !
what a tumultuous period in french history. have you done napoleon 3?
Not yet, but I will. I haven't done Napoléon himself either. Currently gathering information on Josephine though.
@@TheKingsofFrance another much maligned figure. i loved the Sandra Gulland trilogy.
What an interesting video. Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching !!!
Why is there not a movie about this man?
Maybe we should ask Johnny Depp to play him next !
@@TheKingsofFrance "The Man who Wouldn't Be King", starring Peter Sellers as Louis Philippe I. An epic comedy about a man who discovers that his greatest ambition, his dream, the sole reason he even exists, is not as great as it is cracked up to be, and how he must contend with revolution, family problems, taxes, assassins, as well as the changing mood and beliefs of the times, as he struggles to find a way out before he gets deposed or revolutioned. Also starring Peter Lorre as Honore Daumier and Raquel Welch as the famous opera starlet both men are obsessed with. Coming to theaters sometime, maybe, eventually, possibly, sort of, I think.
This is a FANTASTIC channel. Thank you so much!! I also love Barris, wish you two Franks could join forces 😉
I am so glad you are enjoying my content Eric. I doubt Barris would join forces with me, his content is far more professionally made than mine ! I'm but an amateur...
@@TheKingsofFrance Not at all an amateur, you are teaching me SO much about French history (and more!). It’s Incredibly fascinating and there is so much material. Please never say never 😉
Please tell me I’m not the only one that thought this was Conan O’Brien in a costume for a split second.
Not sure if Conan would consider it a compliment haha !
@@TheKingsofFrance Yeah, I kind of did him dirty. My lizard brain has apparently decided that tall pale forehead and deadpan facial expression equals “a Conan” when scanning for possible threats in my environment. 🦎🤡
@@mags9024 Haha now i wanna see what Louis Philippe would look like with red hair...
Wonderful video! I learned so much as usual! Merci 🌸♥️!
Thank you so much Christine !!
Louis Philippe III?
Louis Philippe III D'Orléans, but King Louis Philippe I of France... Thank you for watching.
I cannot get over the fact he and his family sided with the revolutionaries and had a hand in the murder of Louis XVI. All of his actions seemed cowardly at best and self serving at worse.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
where do i start? ur voice is calming. the amount of knowledge i learn off you.
Thank you so much, you're very kind !
I much prefer Louis Philippe I to his father. Louis Phillipe I was able to redeem the House of Orleans. Thank you for teaching me about this interesting king. I'm glad that people finally realised that he was a sincere advocate of the monarchy.
Thank you so much as always Vishnu !
"Right", and all of that "redemption" ended up, incognito, going into exile.
Will you guys do a video on Charles X or Napoleon the Third?
Charles X has been done already: ua-cam.com/video/UzXfFkoXOEc/v-deo.html
@@TheKingsofFrance Oh, I didn’t see that. Thanks!
Will there be a video made of
Henry of Orleans Duke of Aumale 1822-1897 who also married
Bethe Clinchant and had two children a boy born 1861 and
A girl born 1864.
