ORLEANS, PHILIP I

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 286 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ORC-PAI
ORLEANS, PHILIP I ., DUKE OF (1640-1701), son of the French king Louis XIII., was born at St Germain-en-Laye on the 21st of September 164o. In 1661 he.was created duke of Orleans, and married Henrietta,
sister
  of Charles II. of England; but the
marriage
  was not a happy one, and the death of the duchess in 1670 was attributed to poison. Subsequently he married Charlotte Elizabeth, daughter of Charles Louis, elector palatine of the Rhine. Having fought with distinction in
Flanders
  in 1667, Monsieur, as Orleans was generally called, returned to military
life
  in 1672, and in 1677 gained a
great
  victory at Cassel and took St Omer. Louis XIV., it was said, was jealous of his brother's success; at all events Orleans never commanded an army again. He died at St Cloud on the 8th of June 1701, leaving a son, Philip, the regent Orleans, and two daughters: Anne Marie (16691728), wife of
Victor
  Amadeus II., duke of Savoy; and Elizabeth Charlotte (16761744), wife of
Leopold
 , duke of
Lorraine
 . His eldest daughter, Marie Louise (16621689), wife of Charles II. of Spain, died before her father. (M. P.*)
