=== House of Bourbon-Orléans, July Monarchy (1830–1848) ===
{{main|House of Bourbon-Orléans|July Monarchy}}

The Bourbon Restoration came to an end with the [[July Revolution]] of 1830 which deposed [[Charles X of France|Charles X]] and replaced him with [[Louis Philippe I]], a distant cousin with more liberal politics. Charles X's son Louis signed a document renouncing his own right to the throne only after a 20-minute argument with his father. Because he was never crowned he is disputed as a genuine king of France. Louis's nephew Henry was likewise considered by some to be Henry V, but the new regime did not recognise his claim and he never ruled. 

Charles X named Louis Philippe as ''Lieutenant général du royaume'', a regent to the young Henry V, and charged him to announce his desire to have his grandson succeed him to the [[Chamber of Deputies (France)|Chamber of Deputies]], the lower house of the [[French Parliament]] at the time, the French equivalent at the time of the UK House of Commons. Louis Philippe did not do this, in order to increase his own chances of succession. As a consequence, and because the French parliamentarians were aware of his liberal policies and of his popularity at the time with the French population, they proclaimed Louis Philippe as the new French king, displacing the senior branch of the House of Bourbon.
