Orleans, and of See also:Louise Henriette of See also:Bourbon-See also:Conti, was See also:born at St See also:Cloud
on the 13th of See also:April 1747
.
Having See also:borne the See also:title of duke of See also:Montpensier until his grandfather's See also:death in 1752, he became duke of See also:Chartres, and in 1769 married Louise See also:Marie See also:Adelaide de Bourbon-Penthievre, daughter and heiress of the duke of Penthievre, See also:grand See also:admiral of See also:France, and the richest heiress of the See also:- TIME (0.

Her See also:wealth made it certain that he would be the richest See also:man in France, and he determined to See also:play a See also:part equal to that of his See also:great-grandfather, the See also:regent, whom he resembled in See also:character and debauchery
.
As duke of Chartres he opposed the plans of See also:Maupeou in 1771, and was promptly exiled to his See also:country See also:estate of Villers-Cotterets (See also:Aisne)
.
When Louis XVI. came to the See also:throne in 1774 Chartres still found himself looked on coldly at See also:court; Marie Antoinette hated him, and envied him for his wealth, wit and freedom from See also:etiquette, and he was not slow to return her hatred with scorn
.
In 1778 he served in the See also:squadron of D'Orvilliers, and was See also:present in the See also:naval See also:battle of See also:Ushant on the 27th of See also:July 1778
.
He hoped to see further service, but the See also:queen was opposed to this, and he was removed from the See also:navy, and given the honorary See also:post of See also:colonel-See also:general of hussars
.
He then abandoned himself to See also:pleasure; he often visited See also:London, and became an intimate friend of the See also:prince of See also:Wales (afterwards See also:George IV.); he brought to See also:Paris the " anglo-See also:mania," as it was called, and made jockeys as fashionable as they were in See also:England
.
He also made himself very popular in Paris by his large gifts to the poor in time of See also:famine, and by throwing open the gardens of the Palais Royal to the See also:people
.
Before the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting of the notables in 1787 he had succeeded his See also:father as duke of Orleans, and showed his liberal ideas, which were largely learnt in England, so boldly that he was believed to be aiming at becoming constitutional See also:- KING

king of France

In See also:November he again showed his liberalism in the lit de See also:justice, which Brienne had made the king hold, and was again exiled to Villers-Cotterets
.
The approaching See also:convocation of the states-general made his See also:friends very active on his behalf; he circulated in every bailliage the See also:pamphlets which F

Sieyes had See also:drawn up at his See also:request, and was elected in three—by the noblesse of Paris, • Villers-Cotterets and Crepy-en-See also:Valois
.
In the estate of the See also:nobility he headed the liberal minority under the guidance of Adrien See also:Duport, and led the minority of See also:forty-seven noblemen who seceded from their own estate (See also:June 1789) and joined the Tiers Etat
.
The part he played during the summer of 1789 is one of the most debated points in the See also:history of the Revolution
.
The court accused him of being at the bottom of every popular See also:movement, and saw the " See also:gold of Orleans " as the cause of the Reveillon See also:riot and the taking-of the See also:Bastille, as the republicans later saw the " gold of See also:Pitt " in every germ of opposition to themselves
.
There can be no doubt that he hated the queen, and bitterly resented his See also:long disgrace at court, and also that he sincerely wished for a thorough reform of the See also:government and the See also:establishment of some such constitution as that of England; and no doubt such friends as Adrien Duport and Choderlos de Laclos, for their own reasons, wished to see him king of France
.
The best testimony for the behaviour of Orleans during this summer is the testimony of an See also:English See also:lady, Mrs See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

.
He indeed became so disgusted with the false position of a pretender to the See also:crown, into which he was being forced, that he wished to go to See also:America, but, as the comtesse de Buffon would not go with him, he decided to remain in Paris
.
He was again accused, unjustly, of having caused the See also:march of the See also:women to See also:Versailles on the 5th of See also:October
.
La Fayette, jealous of his popularity, persuaded the king to send the duke to England on a See also:mission, and thus get him out of France, and he accordingly remained in England from October 1789 to July 1790
.
On the 7th of July he took his seat in the See also:Assembly, and on the 2nd of October both he and See also:Mirabeau were declared by the Assembly entirely See also:free of any complicity in the events of October
