  Louis XVIII Stanislas Xavier de France

  
  

• Notes

  King of France (1814-1815 and 1815-1824). Louis XVIII, grandson of Louis XV and younger brother of Louis XVI, was initially known as Count of Provence. He emigrated in 1791, at the beginning of the French Revolution then took the title of "King" on the death of his nephew (Louis XVII) in the Temple Prison in 1795. He worked for the restoration of the monarchy but the military victories of the revolutionary troops, Bonaparte's rise to power and the proclamation of the Empire in 1804 removed him from the public eye. He had to wait for Napoleon's first defeats before beginning his diplomatic activity again. He finally mounted the throne after Napoleon's abdication in April 1814. This was the first period of restoration of the monarchy. On 4th June, he pro-mulgated a charter instituting a constitutional monarchy and confirming the main political and social advantages of the Revolution. Napoleon's return to France in March 1815 forced him to flee to Ghent where he spent the period known as the "Hundred Days". Once Napoleon had been defeated at Waterloo and forced to abdicate for the second time (July 1815), Louis returned to power. Under the terms of the second Treaty of Paris (November 1815), the Allies set French borders back where they had been in 1790 and decided to implement military occupation (it las-ted until 1818). The second Restoration, with the election of an assembly that had an ultra-royalist majority (known as the "Unavailable Chamber") in August 1815, reflected a violent royalist reaction called the "White Terror", but Louis XVIII suc-ceeded in containing it by dissolving the Chamber in September 1816 and sup-porting the moderate policies of ministers Richelieu and Decazes. Wide-sweeping liberal laws were passed. After the assassination of the Duke de Berry, the king's nephew, in 1820, more royalist reaction was felt, leading to the nomination of Minister Villele (1821). Laws restricting individual liberties and the electoral body and re-establishing censorship were passed in 1820-1822. Louis XVIII died in 1824 without leaving an heir and the crown passed to his brother, Charles X.
