 Louis-Philippe
Louis-Philippe, King of the French, was the eldest son of Louis Philip Joseph, duke of Orleans (known during the Revolution as Philippe Egalité) and of Louise Marie Adelaide de Bourbon, daughter of the duc de Penthièvre, and was born at the Palais Royal in Paris on the 6th of October 1773.
The godparents of the duke of Valois, as he was entitled until 1785, were Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette; his governess was the famous Madame de Genlis, to whose influence he doubtless owed many of the qualities which later distinguished him: his wide, if superficial knowledge, his orderliness, and perhaps his parsimony.
Immediately on his arrival, in February 1800, the duke of Orleans, at the suggestion of Dumouriez, sought an interview with the comte d'Artois, through whose instrumentality he was reconciled with the exiled king Louis XVIII, who bestowed upon his brothers the order of the Saint Esprit.

 Tapestry - Duke of Berry
His brother, the Duke Louis of Anjou, was -- like most members of the royal family -- great lovers of arts, and it was Duke Louis who had the famous tapestries "The Apocalypse" (shown elsewhere on this site) woven for the decoration of the Great Hall of the Chateau d'Angers for celebrations and solemn ceremonies.
They were then purchased by the Duke of Aumale, fourth son of Louis-Philippe I, and displayed in his fine collections in his chateau at Chantilly, near Paris.
The manuscript of "The Very Rich Hours of the Duke of Berry" is now considered to be one of the finest early French books in existence, and is one of the most cherished possessions of the Condé Museum, in Chantilly.

The French Government therefore must either admit the descendants of the Duke of Montpensier are excluded by virtue of the renunciations in the Treaty of Utrecht, or they must acknowledge that they have violated the engagement contained in that Treaty." [Doc 44.
