Born in 1757, ascended to the throne in 1824 as the last king from the House of Bourbon. His reign was characterized by conservative policies and resistance to liberal changes in French society. Faced with increasing unrest and opposition, he was forced to abdicate in 1830 during the July Revolution, leading to the establishment of the July Monarchy under Louis-Philippe. Exiled to Germany, some royalists continued to regard him as the legitimate king until his death in 1836.
