-
born Sept. 29, 1820, Paris, France
died Aug. 24, 1883, Frohsdorf, Austria
French nobleman, last heir of the elder branch of the house of
Bourbon and, as Henry V, pretender to the French throne from 1830.
Son of the duke de
Berry, he was forced to flee France in 1830 when his grandfather,
Charles X, abdicated and
Louis-Philippe seized the throne. In 1870, after the fall of
Napoleon III, Chambord invited France to reunite under the Bourbons. For a time the restoration of the monarchy seemed possible, but Chambord's hostility toward the principles of the
French Revolution undermined his support.
