  House of Orleans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For many centuries the House of Orleans was one of the most important noble families in France, with the Duc d'Orléans traditionally being very close to the king.
In 1830, following the French July Revolution the House of Orleans became the ruling house when the restored Bourbon monarch Charles X was replaced by Louis Philippe, son of Louis Philippe Joseph, duc d'Orléans.
Louis Philippe ruled as a constitutional monarch, and was called "King of the French," not "of France." His reign lasted until the 1848 revolution, when he abdicated and fled to England.

Strictly speaking, a New Orleans Creole is a descendant of an early French or Spanish settler, "born in the colony," not in Europe.
According to most dictionaries, Creole comes from the same Latin root as the word "create," with the French creating their "Creole" from the Spanish "criollo." Over time, this went from denoting a person born of Spanish parents overseas to a person born similarly of French parents.
