ORLéANISTS The title was revived much later and was used by three claimants to the French throne:
The title was given by Louis-Philippe I to his grandson Philippe , as show of gratitude towards the City of Paris and in reference to the early ancestors of the Capetians . Since 1830, there had been high controversy amongst French royalists. One group, called Legitimists , recognised the older branch of the family as heirs to the monarchy, while another group, the Orléanist s, recognised Louis-Philippe and his heirs. In 1883, with the death of the Comte De Chambord , the older branch of the family died out. His genealogical heir was Juan, Conde De Montizon , but most legitimists recognised Philippe, Comte De Paris as heir to the Comte de Chambord, because Felipe V Of Spain , ancestor of the Conde de Montizon, renounced his rights to the French throne. A minority group of royalists refused to recognise the validity of these renunciations. Nowadays, they recognise Don Luís Alfonso Gonzalo Victor Manuel Marco de Borbón y Martínez-Bordiú, or Louis-Alphonse, Duc D'Anjou as heir to the French throne. Thus, the Comte de Paris is presently the Orléanist pretender to the French throne. SEE ALSO |
