Brother of Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, he married Marie-Thérèse of Savoy. During the reign of Louis XVIII, he founded an ultra-royalist party and on the death of his brother, he entered Paris. He was crowned king in Reims on 29.05.1825. He tried to govern by decree, without going through Parliament. This method was at the root of the 1930 revolution. He went into exile in England, then Prague and finally Goritz, where he died of cholera.
