Louis-Philippe I 1773-1850 known as the "Citizen King" was the last king to rule France 1830-1848. Initially styled the Duke of Chartres he was a figure of immense political complexity; though born into the highest royalty he embraced the early ideals of the French Revolution fighting with distinction at Valmy and Jemappes before fleeing the Reign of Terror into a nomadic 21-year exile. Following the July Revolution of 1830 he was brought to the throne not as King of France but as King of the French - a constitutional title marking a deliberate shift from divine right to popular sovereignty. His eighteen-year reign the July Monarchy represented the Juste Milieu Middle Way balancing between radical republicanism and absolute monarchy while presiding over France's industrial revolution railway expansion and the colonization of Algeria. He was ultimately deposed by the Revolution of 1848 dying in exile in England. Condition: The signature is clear there is a little age-related toning to the paper and card. <br/> <br/> Not published paperback
