King of the French from 1830 to 1848, he was titled before his accession as Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans. The son of Philippe Égalité, he joined the army of the French Revolution, but deserted in 1793 with General Charles François Dumouriez. Although in exile for the next 20 years, he did not collaborate with France's enemies. Reconciled with the Bourbons, he returned to France after their restoration and soon recovered his huge fortune. He figured in the liberal opposition to Kings Louis XVIII and Charles X and was supported by the discontented upper bourgeoisie and by the liberal journalists. In the July Revolution of 1830, Louis Philippe was made lieutenant general of the realm and, with the support of the Marquis of Lafayette, was chosen King of the French. His reign, known as the July Monarchy, marked the triumph of the wealthy bourgeoisie and a return to influence of many former Napoleonic officials. Although the constitutional charter of 1814 was revised in 1830 in a liberal direction, the new legislature was unresponsive to the economic needs and political desires of the lower classes.
In the early years of his reign, Louis Philippe's basically conservative outlook was strengthened by a number of workers' demonstrations and by several attempts on his life, notably that of Giuseppe Fieschi in 1835. Although the King was a constitutional monarch, he gained considerable personal power by splitting the liberal movement and appointing weak ministers, such as Louis Molé. Eventually a conservative ministry, dominated in 1840 to 1848 by François Guizot, who had the king's confidence, came to power. In foreign policy, Louis Philippe promoted Anglo-French friendship and supported colonial expansion; Algeria was conquered in his reign. He cooperated with England in support (1831) of Belgian independence and in the Quadruple Alliance of 1834. The Franco-British rapprochement was ended (1846), however, by the Spanish marriages, which violated a previous Franco-British agreement. In France, Louis Philippe became increasingly unpopular. On the right he was opposed by the legitimists (who supported the senior Bourbon line) and by the Bonapartists. The leftist elements organized numerous secret revolutionary societies. The opposition to the government undertook from 1847 to 1848 a banquet campaign to propagate the demand for electoral reform. The campaign led to the February Revolution of 1848. Louis Philippe abdicated in favor of his grandson, but a republic was set up. The king fled to England, where he died. Louis Philippe was known as the citizen king because of his bourgeois manner and dress, and he and his regime were satirized by Honoré Daumier.

The House of Orléans has been always seen with a sort of distaste by the elder Bourbon Line, confined mostly to their manors by the Elder Bourbon Kings after the Regency of the Duke of Orléans after the death of Louis XIV, they proceeded to heavily involve themselves in the study of Science, Political Science, the Military and that of the Arts. The Family however is seen with much scandal after the affair of Louis Philippe Joseph known as 'Philippe Égalité' during the French Revolution of 1789. Louis Philippe Joseph became a great lover of all things English and actively supporting Liberal ideas, many believed that he wished to become King after the failed attempt of Louis XVI to flee from France in 1792. During the 10th of August, he supported many to flee from France, including the Compt de Champcenetz, the governor of the Tuileries, who was his personal enemy. Afterwards his reputation in royal circles was destroyed as he voted for the Death of Louis XVI, this did not save him though as he was later arrested and then guillotined during the Reign of Terror. His son Louis-Philippe had fled France, and is the current head of the House of Orléans.
Louis-Philippe is a vibrant man, having a strong marriage and a large family. He initially supported the French Revolution, holding true to the Liberalism which defines the Orléans Line, fighting in the French Army at the Battle of Jemappes. However he supported the Constitutional Monarchy and deserted from France along with Dumouriez to the Austrians. Afterwards he traveled heavily outside of France, visiting the United States. When travelling back to Europe he was remarked as a "Damned Republican" by a British Captain. The Dynasty currently resides in France, however it is isolated once again by the Elder Bourbon line as an extremist and a danger to the stability of the Dynasty.
