 Henri Charles Ferdinand Marie Chambord - LoveToKnow 1911
His father was the duc de Berry, the elder son of the comte d'Artois (afterwards Charles X.); his mother was the princess Caroline Ferdinande Louise of Naples.
The death of his grandfather, Charles X., in 1836, and of his uncle, the duc d'Angouleme, in 1844, left him the last male representative of the elder branch of the Bourbon family; and his marriage with the archduchess Maria Theresa, eldest daughter of the duke of Modena (November 7, 1846), remained without issue.
The title to the throne thus passed to the comte de Paris, as representative of the Orleans branch of the house of Bourbon, and the history of the comte de Chambord's life is largely an account of the efforts made to unite the Royalist party by effecting a reconciliation between the two princes.

However, the assassination of the Duc de Berry, the ultrareactionary son of Louis's ultrareactionary brother (and heir-presumptive) the future Charles X, in February 1820, caused Decazes's fall from power and the triumph of the Ultras.
Charles abdicated in favor of his grandson, the Comte de Chambord, and left for England.
There is still considerable debate among historians as to the actual cause of the downfall of Charles X. What is generally conceded, though, is that between 1827 and 1830, a series of economic downturns combined with the rise of a liberal opposition within the Chamber of Deputies ultimately felled the conservative Bourbons.

Charles X, King of France and of Navarre (October 9 1757 – November 6 1836) was born at the Palace of Versailles.
Charles' major foreign ally at this time was Catherine the Great, the Empress of Russia, who preferred Charles to the Baron de Breteuil, who was the opposing leader of the royalists-in-exile.
Charles never met any of the claimants pretending to be his long-lost nephew, Louis XVII, since he was convinced the child had died in Paris in 1795.

 Charles X
Charles X, King of France from 1824 to 1830, was the fourth child of the dauphin, son of Louis XV and of Marie Josephe of Saxony, and consequently brother of Louis XVI.
The result of the new elections was what might have been foreseen: a large increase in the Opposition; and Charles, on the advice of his ministers, determined on a virtual suspension of the constitution.
He was a typical Bourbon, unable either to learn or to forget; and the closing years of his life he spent in religious austerities, intended to expiate, not his failure to grasp a great opportunity, but the comparatively venial excesses of his youth.

The Marquise de Pompadour, met in February 1745 at a lavish masked ball given in honor of the dauphin's marriage, was the most famous mistress of the reign, and the most honorable one.
She was the daughter of a chief agent of the powerful Pâris family of financiers who became embroiled in the intrigue that ousted the Duke of Bourbon as head of the Regency council in favor of Cardinal de Fleury.

Like the miniatures, they were executed partly for the Duc de Berry and partly for the Duc de Savoie, with marked differences between the two styles as well as between the accompanying foliage in the margins and center columns.
Charles I, Duc de Savoie, was not destined to enjoy the Très Riches Heures for long since he died childless in 1489, leaving all his possessions to his first cousin, the Duc Philibert le Beau.
He immediately recognized it as a work executed for the Duc de Berry, by the Duke's portrait in the month of January (folio 2r), the numerous bears and wounded swans, the mysterious initials "VE" (folio 14v), and the fleurs-de-lys escutcheons engrailed in gules.

Charles de France (31 July 1686 5 May 1714) was Duke of Berry from birth.
Following the death of his eldest brother, the dauphin Louis, duke of Burgundy it appeared likely that Berry would one day be regent of France, in light of the advancing years of his grandfather Louis XIV, and the youth of his nephew, the future Louis XV.
Berry's death left his grandfather with the choice of devolving power to his nephew Orleans, or to his illegitimate son, Louis-Auguste de Bourbon, Duc du Maine.

 Comte and Dunoyer Chap. 4
For a while in the early 1820s Dunoyer continued to be active in liberal political circles (which included La Fayette, the duc de Broglie and Auguste de Staël), writing pamphlets to the restricted electorate on the need for them to return liberal deputies to the Chamber[250] and agitating for the abolition of slavery.
He and his mentor Vincent de Gournay attacked the orthodox view of Quesnay and Mirabeau and argued that all endeavours which satisfied the needs of consumers were "productive," a view which is much closer to that of Say and his followers.
Charles Comte looked at European history from the beginnings of the city of Rome to the nineteenth century as a gradual unfolding of the true principles of industry.
