Louis-Philippe
(1773-1850) Known as the duc d'Orleans before his accession,
 King
Louis-Philippe became the leader of France after the Abdication
of Charles X. Although he was a constitutional monarch,
King Louis-Philippe gained personal power by splitting the
liberal movement and appointing weak ministers. When
the government prohibited a banquet organized by supporters
of political reform, the Republicans of Paris revolted.
This led to the Revolution of 1848. The king abdicated
on February 24,1848 and shortly after, fled to England.
