ORLEANS, LOUIS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 284 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORLEANS, LOUIS , DuKE OF (17031752), only son of Duke Philip II., the regent Orleans, was born at
Versailles
  on the 4th of August 1703. A pious, charitable and cultured prince, he took very little
part
  in the politics of the time, although he was conspicuous for his hostility to
Cardinal
 
Dubois
  in 1723. In 1730
Cardinal
 
Fleury
  secured his dismissal from the position of colonel-general of the infantry, a post which he had held for nine years; and retiring into private
life
 , he spent his time mainly in translating the
Psalms
  and the epistles of St Paul. Having succeeded his father as duke of Orleans in 1723, he died in the abbey of St Genevieve at Paris on the 4th of
February
  1752. His wife Augusta (d. 1726), daughter of Louis William, margrave of Baden, bore him an only son, Louis Philippe, who succeeded his father as duke of Orleans.
