The Orléans Monarchy or the July Monarchy.

louis philippe was first proclaimed lieutenant-general of the kingdom afterwards his title was changed by the chamber of deputies to that of king he was at this time a man of fifty-seven the son of that louis philippe joseph the duke d'orleans who was formerly celebrated under the title of he had gained a reputation as a good soldier in revolutionary times unfortunately when dumouriez fell under the suspicion of conspiring against france louis philippe was credited with being his accomplice he therefore prudently fled from france lest he should be proscribed living first in switzerland and then in england in the days of the first revolution he returned to france he was by nature a homely man a stout bourgeois in appearance and it now suited him to take up the role of the friend of the middle class contemporaries like to describe how he promenaded the streets of paris unattended la parapluie sous le bras just like an ordinary citizen almost inevitably the citizen king became his nickname his hardy bluff manners were unsuited to formal ceremonies his queen marie amlie of sicily seems to have shared her husband's attitude in society when guests came to the royal palace she did not lay aside her needlework and the atmosphere of the tuileries was that of a middle-class home Even her sons were educated at the college of Henri IV, mixing on friendly terms with the sons of the bourgeoisie.

All this parade of equality brought in its train a certain measure of popularity, but on the other hand it had the effect of dispersing, once and for all, the glamour which had hitherto surrounded the monarchy in France.
