	Bambooweb: Louis XVIII of France
		Louis-Stanislas-Xavier was born on November 17, 1755 in the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France, the fourth son of the dauphin Louis, the grandson of King Louis XV and Marie Leszczynska.
		At birth, he received the title of Count of Provence but throughout most of his life he was known as "Monsieur." After the death of his two elder brothers and the accession of his remaining elder brother as Louis XVI of France in 1774, he became heir presumptive.
		The ultraroyalists, led by Louis's brother, the Comte d'Artois (later King Charles X), triumphed after the assassination of the count's son, Charles Ferdinand, duc de Berry.

	Louis XVIII
		Louis XVIII, Louis le Désiré, Louis-Stanislas-Xavier, comte de Provence, third son of the dauphin Louis, son of Louis XV, and of Maria Josepha of Saxony, was born at Versailles on the 17th of November 1755.
		His education was supervised by the devout duc de la Vauguyon, but his own taste was for the writings of Voltaire and the encyclopaedists.
		His concessions to the reactionary and clerical party of the émigrés, headed by the comte d'Artois and the duchesse d'Angoulême, aroused suspicions of his loyalty to the constitution, the creation of his Maison militaire alienated the army, and the constant presence of Blacas made the formation of a united ministry impossible.

	Louis XVIII of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis XVIII (November 17, 1755 - September 16, 1824) was King of France and Navarre from 1814 (although he dated his reign from 1795) until his death in 1824, with a brief break in 1815 due to Napoleon's return in the Hundred Days.
		In the Verona Declaration, the pretender announced his rejection of all the changes that had been made in France since 1789, which effectively destroyed the position of moderate constitutional monarchists in France, who hoped to restore the monarchy under a limited constitution which would codify most of the changes since the Revolution began.
		Louis was forced by Talleyrand and the Napoleonic elites to grant a written constitution which would guarantee a bicameral legislature, the Charter of 1814.
