	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.
		In March 1814 the Allies entered Paris, and thanks to Talleyrand's negotiations the restoration of the Bourbons was effected, Louis XVIII entering Paris on the 2nd of May 1814, after issuing the declaration of St. Ouen, in which he promised to grant the nation a constitution (octroyer une charte).
		The character of Louis XVIII may be summed up in the words of Bonaparte, quoted by Sorel, "C'est Louis XVI avec moins de franchise et plus d'esprit." He had all the Bourbon characteristics, especially their love of power, combined with a certain nobility of demeanor, and a consciousness of his dignity as king.

	Napoleon III - France.com
		Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (April 20, 1808 - January 9, 1873) was the son of King Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense de Beauharnais; both monarchs of the Kingdom of Holland.
		In a situation that resembles the case of Louis XVIII of France, the numbering of Napoleon's reign assumes the existence of a legitimate Napoleon II of France who never actually ruled.
		Hoping to achieve military glory to match his uncle Louis and forced by the diplomacy of the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck, Napoleon began the Franco-Prussian War in 1870.

	Louis XVIII - LoveToKnow 1911
		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.
		All this time he was in close communication with the royalists in France, but was much embarrassed by the conflicting policy pursued by the comte d'Artois from England, and was largely at the mercy of corrupt and dishonest agents.
		In the absence of Decazes a new favourite was found to amuse the king's old age, Madame du Cayla (Zoe Talon, comtesse du Cayla), a protegee of the vicomte Sosthene de la Rochefoucauld and consequently a creature of the Ultras.

		Louis' mother was Marie-Josèphe of Saxony, second wife of the Dauphin, and the daughter of Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, Prince-Elector of Saxony and King of Poland.
		Louis was nowhere near as reactionary as his right-wing brothers, the comte d'Artois and the comte de Provence, and he sent repeated messages publicly and privately calling on them to halt their attempts to launch counter-coups (often through his secretly nominated regent, former minister de Brienne).
		Louis, dauphin de France, in a pastel by Maurice Quentin de La Tour Louis, dauphin de France (1729- 1765), born in Versailles, was the eldest and only surviving son of King Louis XV of France and Queen Marie Leszczyńska, and thus heir (dauphin) to the throne of France.

	Louis XVII of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Louis XVII of France (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795) also known as Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy (1785-1789), Louis-Charles, Dauphin of Viennois (1789-1791), and Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France (1791-1793), was the son of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette.
		As the eldest living son of King Louis XVI, he was proclaimed king of France on January 28, 1793 by the declaration of his uncle, "Monsieur" (Louis-Stanislas-Xavier, the Comte de Provence) issued in exile in the city of Hamm, near Dortmund, Westphalia, a territory of the Archbishop of Cologne.
		The declaration at the time was without authority, since France was a republic; however, when the nation and the European powers accepted Louis-Stanislas-Xavier as Louis XVIII of France in 1815, the numbering tacitly recognized Louis XVII's rights.

		After the execution of Louis XVI on January 21, 1793 and the death (in June 1795) of that king's ten-year-old son, who was being held prisoner in Paris, the Count de Provence proclaimed himself King of France as Louis XVIII.
		Louis granted a liberal constitution, known as "The Charter," but spoiled the effect by dating it "in the nineteenth year of our reign," as if he had been France's legal sovereign ever since 1795.

	Napoleon III of France at AllExperts
		NapolÃ©on III, Emperor of the French (Charles Louis NapolÃ©on Bonaparte) (20 April 1808 – 9 January 1873) was President of France from 1849 to 1852, and then Emperor of the French under the name NapolÃ©on III from 1852 to 1870.
		In a situation that resembles the case of Louis XVIII of France, the numbering of NapolÃ©on's reign treats NapolÃ©on II, who never actually ruled, as a true Emperor (he had been briefly recognized as emperor from June 22 to July 7, 1815).
		In the beginning of the 1860s, the objectives of the Emperor in foreign policy had been met: France had scored several military victories in Europe and abroad, the defeat at Waterloo had been exorcised, and France was regarded again as the largest military power in Europe.

		The third surviving son of Henri II of France and Catherine de Medici he had led the Catholic reaction against the Huguenot rising whose leadership had passed by 1570 to the young King of Navarre, Henri de Bourbon.
		Although Henri IV was proclaimed King of France on his Valois cousin’s death, he faced four more years of struggle before eventually converting to Catholicism (the occasion of his famous saying “Paris is worth a Mass”) and being allowed to enter his capital.
		For Louis XVIII, who had been restored after Napoleon’s decade long Empire ended, and for Ferdinand I, who had been restored to his capital Naples in 1815 after fifteen years in exile in Sicily, there was a powerful symbolism in the Crown being passed without a break from one legitimate Monarch to the next.
