- Orléans, Louis-Philippe-Joseph, duke d'
-
died Nov. 6, 1793, Paris
A cousin of
Louis XVI, he disapproved of
Marie-Antoinette and lived away from the royal court at Versailles. In 1787 he was exiled to his estates for challenging the king's authority. In 1789 he was elected to the
Estates General and soon joined the Third Estate. After joining the
Jacobin Club (1791), he renounced his title of nobility (1792) and accepted the name Philippe Égalité from the Paris Commune. In the
National Convention, he supported the radicals,
but, after his son
Louis-Philippe defected to the Austrians, he was accused of conspiracy, arrested, and guillotined.
