Charles X was a monarch who served as the King of France from 1824 to 1830. He was born on October 9, 1757, and reigned under the Bourbon Restoration period following the Napoleonic era. Charles X, whose full name is Charles Philippe, was the last Bourbon king to rule France.
As king, Charles X was known for his conservative and ultra-royalist views, advocating for the return of absolute monarchy and the restoration of the Catholic Church's influence. During his reign, he implemented measures to limit press freedom, suppress liberal political movements, and strengthen the power of the monarchy. However, these policies were met with considerable opposition, especially from the emerging middle class and liberal intellectuals.
Charles X's reign ultimately ended in the July Revolution of 1830, also known as the Three Glorious Days. Facing widespread unrest and protests, he abdicated the throne on August 2, 1830, and went into exile until his death in 1836. His departure marked the end of the Bourbon dynasty in France.
Despite his relatively short reign, Charles X's legacy is often remembered for the political and social tensions that characterized his rule. His attempts to roll back liberal reforms and reestablish absolute monarchy ultimately led to his downfall and furthered the cause of constitutional monarchy in France.
The word "Charles X" refers to Charles Philippe, also known as Charles X of France. It is not derived from a specific etymology but simply represents the name and title of the former King of France who ruled from 1824 to 1830.
