Henri, Count of Chambord


Henri of Artois, Count of Chambord was disputedly King of France fromtoAugust 1830 as Henri V, although he was never officially proclaimed as such. Afterwards, he was the Legitimist pretender to the throne of France from 1844 to 1883.

Henri was born onSeptember 1820, in the Pavillon de Marsan, a portion of the Tuileries Palace which still survives in the compound of the Louvre Palace in Paris. His father, the duc de Berry, had been assassinated seven months before his birth. At the actual moment of Henris birth, no member of the French court was present in the room this enabled the supporters of Louis Philippe, duc dOrlans to later spread the canard that Henri was not in fact a French prince.
