Excerpt from Les Institutions Militaires de la France: Louvois, Carnot, Saint-Cyr Il y a environ cent ans, l'europe apprit avec quelque surprise qu'elle comptait une grande puissance militaire de plus, et que cette puis sance s'était d'emblée placée au premier rang. Ce n'était pas, comme au temps de Gustave Adolphe, un brillant météore surgissant au milieu d'une confusion universelle pour dispa raître bientôt, après avoir rempli le monde de son éclat; c'était la plus petite, la plus pauvre.

Excerpt from Lettre sur l'Histoire de France Ma situation est bien différente, et je ne réclame pas de tels privilèges. Exilé de mon pays sans avoir violé aucune loi, sans avoir mérité mon sort par aucune faute, je ne suis connu de la France que pour avoir été élevé sous son drapeau et l'avoir fidèlement ser vie jusqu'au jour où j'en ai été violemment sépa ré. Mais cet exil m'a-t-il fait perdre le droit le plus naturel, le plus sacré de tous celui de défendre ma famille publiquement outragée, et, avec elle, le passé de la France? Cette attaque injurieuse qu'un pouvoir si fort et qui vous inspire tant de confiance, a endossée, propagée, affichée sur tous les murs, ma réponse peut-elle la suivre et se produire, en se con forment aux lois, sur le sol même de la patrie? J'en veux faire l'expérience si elle tourne contre mes voeux, et si, au mépris des plus simples notions de la justice et de l'honneur, vous étouffez ma voix en France, dans 'une cause si légitime, elle aura du moins quelque écho en Europe et ira, en tout pays, au coeur des hon hèles gens. Vous avez parlé des scandaleuses dissensions intes Unes dont partout les Bourbons ont donné l'exemple. Plus que toute autre, la branche cadette de cette mai son paraît avoir excité votre indignation, et sij'en crois_7.

He was born on January 16, 1822 in Paris. He was the fifth son of King Louis-Philippe I of the French and Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily.
He was brought up by his parents with great simplicity, he was educated at the college of Henri IV.
At the very young age of 8, he inherited a fortune of 66 million livres (approximately £200 million today), the lands and wealth of his godfather, Louis Henri de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, the last Prince of Condé. Henri also inherited the famous Château de Chantilly, domaines of Saint-Leu, Taverny, Enghien, Montmorency and Mortefontaine. He also gained the Château d'Écouen.
At the age of seventeen he entered the army with the rank of a captain of infantry.
He distinguished himself during the French invasion of Algeria and, in 1847, he became lieutenant-general and was appointed Governor-General of Algeria, a position he held from 27 September 1847 to 24 February 1848.
In this capacity he received the submission of the emir Abdel Kadir, in December 1847. After the Revolution of 1848, he retired to England and busied himself with historical and military studies, replying in 1861 by a Letter upon History of France to Napoleon III's violent attacks upon the House of Orléans.
On the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, he volunteered for service in the French army but his offer was declined.
Elected deputy for the Oise département, he returned to France, and succeeded to the fauteuil of the comte Montalembert in the Académie française. In March 1872 he resumed his place in the army as Général de division and, in 1873, presided over the court-martial which condemned Marshal Bazaine to death.
At this time, having been appointed commander of the VII Army Corps at Besançon, he retired from political life and, in 1879, became inspector-general of the army.
The act of exception, passed in 1883, deprived all members of families that had reigned in France of their military positions. Consequently, the duc d'Aumale was placed on the unemployed supernumerary list.
Subsequently, in 1886, another law was promulgated which expelled from French territory the heads of former reigning families and provided that, henceforward, all members of those families should be disqualified for any public position or function and election to any public body.
The duc d'Aumale protested energetically but was nonetheless expelled.
After the horrible Fire of the Bazar de la Charité, the Duke is obligated to send condolences to other families of victims. It is told that he did had an cardio arrest and died after writing 20 letters to nobles families. By his will of 3 June 1884, however, he had bequeathed to the Institute of France his Chantilly estate, including the Château de Chantilly, with all the art-collection he had collected there, to become a museum. This generosity led the government to withdraw the decree of exile and the duke returned to France in 1889.
He died on May 7, 1897 in Lo Zucco, Sicily.
