Qui est sorti avec Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans?

Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans (Louis Philippe Joseph; 13 April 1747 – 6 November 1793), was a French Prince of the Blood who supported the French Revolution.

Louis Philippe II was born at the Château de Saint-Cloud to Louis Philippe I, Duke of Chartres, and his wife, Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti. He was titled Duke of Montpensier at birth. When his grandfather Louis, Duke of Orléans, died in 1752, his father became the new Duke of Orléans and Louis Philippe II became Duke of Chartres. When his father died in 1785, he became Duke of Orléans and First Prince of the Blood. He was styled as Serene Highness (French: Son Altesse Sérénissime).

In 1792, during the Revolution, Louis Philippe changed his name to Philippe Égalité. He was a cousin of King Louis XVI and one of the wealthiest men in France. He actively supported the Revolution of 1789, and was a strong advocate for the elimination of the present absolute monarchy in favor of a constitutional monarchy. Égalité voted for the death of Louis XVI; however, he was himself guillotined in 1793 during the Reign of Terror. His son, also named Louis Philippe, became King of the French after the July Revolution of 1830. After Louis Philippe II, the term Orléanist came to be attached to the movement in France that favored a constitutional monarchy.

Marguerite Françoise (dite aussi Agnès) Bouvier de La Mothe de Cepoy, par son mariage comtesse de Buffon (1784), puis (1798) Madame Renouard de Bussierre, née en 1767 et morte en 1808, fut la maîtresse en titre du prince Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, duc d'Orléans, connu sous la Révolution française sous le nom de Philippe-Égalité.

Grace Dalrymple Elliott (1754? - Ville-d'Avray, 1823), dame écossaise, qui fut un temps maîtresse du duc d'Orléans, a vécu à Paris durant les pires moments de la Révolution française. Emprisonnée en décembre 1793, elle échappe à la guillotine grâce à la chute de Robespierre le 9 thermidor. Elle laisse une autobiographie très romancée, Ma vie sous la Révolution (Journal of My Life During the French Revolution), publiée à titre posthume en 1859. En 2001, Éric Rohmer en tire un film, L'Anglaise et le Duc.
