Inconsistency in this article: Louis-Philip; Louis-Philippe; Louis Philippe.
According to some authorities, the French connect a person's two Christian names with a hyphen.
S.
- So go ahead and put the hyphens in. He's not Louis (Philip I), he's (Louis Philip) I, and I think having the hyphen in makes that clearer, don't you? -- isis 29 Aug 2002
Moved this here because i don't own a single book that Anglicizes Philippe. Made the change in the article. JHK
Does everything after "The Clash of the Pretenders" belong here? Shouldn't it be moved to a history of France article? The dates next to the children are really ugly, too. We have Wiki standards for dates. And why is the daughter called Princess Louise-Marie Thérèse Charlotte Isabelle in one paragraph and Princess Louise of Orleans in another? I had fixed all of these things (except the last section), but got hit by an edit conflict and really don't want to have to redo all of it. -- Zoe
- I think that as the monarchy ended with Louis-Philippe, 'The Clash of the Pretenders' is worth mentioning here as an epilogue, especially as the throne was offered gift-wrapped to the Comte de Chambord in the 1870s but the man (rumoured to be so stupid he couldn't tie his own shoelaces!) was to stupid to accept. Given that, to get all biblical (or at least to paraphrase it) here endeth the monarchy It is worth giving one of two paragraphs to explain why Louis-Philippe was the last king, even though by 1870 a majority wanted a royal restoration. Sometimes a postscript helps contextualise an article and this, I believe, is one of those occasions.
- It could also be done as a separate page on the Comte de Chambord, but that would open up squabbles because some people call him Comte de Chambord, some the duc de Bordeaux, and some fanatical French royalists will insist (on pain of an edit war) on calling him 'Henry V of France'. And if you have a page on him, do you have one of the Comte de Paris, etc.? (If you don't, expect accusations of bias from [ . . . fill in name of the angry fanatic . . . .]) It could be in a page on the Third French Republic (if we had one!), but there too you'll have a couple of fanatics on left and right 'demanding' that the article 'expose' the 'anti-semitic, right wing anti-Dreyfus royalists' (the left wing view) or the two-faced dishonesty of the founders of the Republic on the issue of the Crown (the monarchist view), how the stupid legitimists destroyed a royal restoration (the orleanist view), or how the power-grabbing descendants of the 'usurper Louis-Philippe', the monied middle classes and jews all plotted to block the 'legitimate' king Henry V's right to get back his throne' (the legitimist view). On balance it is better to plonk it here on a page about the last French king where its is least likely to cause the Weekly Wiki War of the Edits. JTD

[edit] Marie Eugenia von Schroeppel
This marriage is not a documented fact and is at best wishful thinking on the part of whomever submitted this information. I am surprised that this made it into this encyclopedia. I have been doing basic academic research on the Schroeppel family for over twenty years and am able to definatively disprove this connection. Among other false items of information here is that George Casper Schroeppel never used nor was he ever know by "von" Schroeppel. 24Nov2003 DB
[edit] Louis Philippe of the French?
Since he was not "King of France", it might make more sense to title the article as above. This is probably not worth doing unless there is genuine and overwhelming consensus on it; so I'm not taking this to WP:RM until I see what the watchers of this page say. It should be a redirect anyway. Septentrionalis 15:19, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Someone who knows more than I do, please edit to show the burial site of Louis-Philippe and his family. Isn't it the Royal Chapel at Dreux? glasperlenspiel 19:23, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] wrong date (?)
In the section entitled Abdication, at the end of the first paragraph, the following sentence is in parentheses:
(The following year, 1844, Louis-Philippe saw a Fleet Review, Royal Navy.)
From the context it appears that the date should read 1849. Is this correct? Dveej 22:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Last king
To say this means that it is 100% certain France will never have another king. This should be revised as there is perhaps some distant possibility that she might have another one in the indefinite future. --Daniel C. Boyer 17:40, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- This is an encyclopedia, not a handbook of epistemology. If he ceases to be the last king, we will revise it. Septentrionalis 20:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Napoleon III was a monarch after Louis-Phillipe. What about him?
[edit] Miserable Article
This article is pathetic. It doesn't even cite a thing. One source? That's it? This shouldn't even be a B-Class article, it's closer to a START class... I suggest a rewrite. Also, there is a ton of info on google books on this guy, just search it up.63.215.29.115 00:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have added the request for citation, perhaps you could help with it? STTW (talk) 13:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. I am doing a research paper on him. Since i have to cite my sources, ill try to work it in to wikipedia.63.215.29.115 00:45, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kasab
The word "kasab" appears a number of times in this article, apropos of nothing. It may be a vandalizing reference to Khaled Kasab Mahameed. 208.194.97.9 15:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
