Charles X of France

King of France and of Navarre
Years: 1757 - 1836

Charles X (Charles Philippe; 9 October 1757 – 6 November 1836) is known for most of his life as the Comte d'Artois before he reigns as King of France and of Navarre from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830.

A younger brother to Kings Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, he supports the latter in exile and eventually succeeds him.

His rule of almost six years ends in the July Revolution of 1830, which frustrates his attempts to keep the crown in the senior branch of the House of Bourbon and results in the election of Louis Philippe, Duke of Orléans, as King of the French.

Exiled once again, Charles dies in Gorizia, at this time part of the Austrian Empire.
