Louis Philippe I (6 October 1773 — 26 August 1850) nicknamed the Citizen King (French: "le Roi Citoyen") was King of the French from 1830 until he was forced to abdicate following the French Revolution in 1848. As Louis Philippe III, he was also the Duke of Orléans from 1793 to 1830 where he passed that title to his son, Philippe which became the title of the heirs to the French throne rather than going back to the traditional, Dauphin of France.
