Orléanist
Orléanist (French: Orléaniste) was a 19th-century French political label originally used by those who supported a constitutional monarchy expressed by the House of Orléans.[1] Due to the radical political changes that occurred during that century in France, three different phases of Orléanism can be identified:
This article is about the faction that arose during the Bourbon Restoration. For the faction that evolved into the Armagnac party in 1407, see Armagnac (party).Orleanism was opposed by the two other monarchist trends: the more conservative Legitimism that was loyal to the eldest branch of the House of Bourbon after 1830, and the Bonapartism that supported Napoleon’s legacy and heirs.
Only children born of legal marriages conforming with the canon law of the are dynasts.
Catholic Church
The Sovereign or Head of the House can neither abdicate nor alter the line of succession. The likewise cannot personally renounce theirs succession rights. Those rights can however be permanently lost under specific circumstances (see below).
Princes of the blood
The throne is never vacant; upon the death of the Sovereign or Head of the House, the first in line automatically succeeds, regardless of any coronation or whether actually reigning.
The Sovereign or Head of the House must be Catholic.
The Sovereign or Head of the House must be both French and born of an unbroken line of French dynasts descending from Hugh Capet. Any prince of the blood that leaves France to claim a foreign throne or a position subject to which permanently loses his rights of succession, as do his descendants. It is this rule that separates the Orléanist rule from the Legitimist one.
