King+Louis+XVIII

=King Louis XVIII=

Full Name: Louis Stanislas Xavier de France Class: Bourbon King of France Profession: King Country: France Date of Birth: 17 November 1755

I ruled as King of France and Navarre from 1814 to 1824, excluding the Hundred Days in 1815 when Napoleon returned from Elba. I spent 23 years of my life in exile, from 1791–1814 due to the Revolution, and again in 1815 after Napoleon reclaimed his throne. While in exile, I lived in several countries, including Russia, the United Kingdom, and Prussia.

When the coalition armies captured Paris from Napoleon in 1814, I was restored as the French monarch during the Bourbon Restoration period. During my rule, however, my royal power was reduced by the Charter of 1814, the new constitution of France. I ruled as a constitutional monarch until my death at age 64.

I had no children, so after my reign, the crown passed to my nephew Charles X.
