Catalogue Note
Dernier né du couple princier Marie-Adélaïde de Bourbon et du duc de Chartres Louis-Philippe d’Orléans, Louis-Charles d’Orléans, comte de Beaujolais (1779-1808) était plutôt destiné à une carrière ecclésiastique. Il échappa pourtant à ce destin, puisque rapidement plongé dans la tourmente révolutionnaire. Comme le duc de Montpensier, il fut contraint à l’exil en Amérique et partit pour Philadelphie. De santé fragile, depuis son séjour en prison pendant la Terreur, il mourut lors d’un voyage à Malte en 1808 et y est d’ailleurs toujours enterré dans la cathédrale Saint-Jean de La Valette, sous un gisant sculpté par James Pradier.
As the youngest child of the princely couple Marie-Adélaïde de Bourbon and the duc de Chartres, Louis-Philippe-Joseph d’Orléans, Louis-Charles d’Orléans, comte de Beaujolais (1779-1808), was destined for an ecclesiastical career. However, the upheaval brought by the Revolution ensured that this was not to be. As the duc de Montpensier, he was forced into exile in America, leaving for Philadelphia. Plagued by ill health after his stay in prison during the Terror, he died journeying to Malta in 1808 and was subsequently entombed in the cathedral of Saint Jean de La Valette, buried under a tombstone sculpted by James Pradier.
