Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORLEANS, FERDINAND PHILIP LOUIS CHARLES HENRY, DUKE OF (1810-1842) , born at
Palermo
  on the 3rd of September 181o, was the son of Louis Philippe, duke of Orleans, afterwards king of France, and Marie Amelie, princess of the Two Sicilies. Under the Restoration he bore the title of duke of Chartres, and studied classics in Paris at the College Henri IV. At the out-break of the Revolution, which in 1830 set his father on the throne, he was colonel of a
regiment
  of Hussars. He then assumed the title of duke of Orleans, and was sent by the king to Lyons to put down the formidable riots which had broken out there (1831), and then to the siege of Antwerp (1832). He was appointed
lieutenant
 -general, and made several campaigns in
Algeria
  (1835, 1839, 1840). On his return to France he organized the battalions of light infantry known as the chasseurs d'Orleans. He died as the result of a carriage accident at Neuilly, near Paris, on the 13th of July 1842.
The duke of Orleans had married (May 30, 1837) Helene Louise Elisabeth of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and had by her two sons, the
count
  of Paris and the duke of Chartres. On the 24th of
February
  1848, after the
abdication
  of Louis Philippe, the duchess of Orleans went to the Chamber of Deputies assembled in the Palais Bourbon in the
hope
  of having her eldest son proclaimed and of obtaining the regency; but the threatening attitude of the populace forced her to flee. She took
refuge
  in England, and died at Richmond on the 18th of May 1858.
