Charles X (9 October 1757 - 6 November 1836) ruled as King of France and of Navarre from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830. His short rule of almost six years came to an end when he instituted his July Ordinances in July 1830, suspending most of the liberties granted in the Charter of 1814. During a popular revolt known as the July Revolution, Charles abdicated on 2 August in favor of his son Louis-Antoine, duc d'Angouleme, who in turn abdicated in favor of his nephew, Henri, duc de Bordeaux. This effort to keep the crown in the senior branch of the House of Bourbon proved futile when the Chamber of Deputies by-passed young Bordeaux and elected the First Prince of the Blood, Louis Philippe, duc d'Orleans, as King of the French. Charles was the last king of the senior House of Bourbon to reign over France. He died in Gorizia, Austria, after six years in exile. Charles X was also the youngest brother of two kings, Louis XVI and Louis XVIII. His sisters were Clotilde, Queen of Sardinia, and Madame ÃÆ'‰lisabeth.
