The Impossible Task of Replacing a Model Heir: The Death of Ferdinand-Philippe d’Orléans and the ‘New France’
Abstract
From a dynastic perspective the French monarchy seemed rock solid in July 1842. King Louis-Philippe I and Queen Marie-Amélie were blessed with ten children. Five of their sons had reached adulthood; young Prince Antoine celebrated his eighteenth birthday that summer.1 The king was very fond of his seven grandchildren, among them six boys, each one of them as fit as a fiddle. The family members were on first-name terms and enjoyed spending time together.2

The first in the Julliot dynasty, Claude-Antoine was born into a wealthy family in the village of Poinchy, in Burgundy, nära Chablis. His father Claude, a procureur, died before 1712, leaving his wife Étiennette Mercier (1658–1741) to bring up their children on her own. Little is known about Claude-Antoine’s training, other than the fact that he became a marchand mercier (dealer) on 14 October 1719 (Lemonnier, P., 1989, p. 41) and that he received from his maternal uncle, Edme Mercier, a bourgeois dealer from Paris, the significant sum of 28,000 livres (AN, MC, AND/XXXIX/317). On 13 December 1721, he married Françoise Février (1702–1736) (AN, MC, AND/XXXIX/316), the daughter of Jacques Février, a procureur in the parliament of Paris, and granddaughter of Guillaume Daustel (1646–1718), the famous and

Philippe, Duke of Vendôme
Grand prior of France (1655–1727)
Philippe, Grand Prior of Vendôme (1655–1727) was a French general, a grand prior of France [fr] in the order of Malta, as well as an epicurian and a libertine.
He fought for Louis XIV from 1669, at the Siege of Candia, to 1705, at the Battle of Cassano, where he failed to join his brother Louis Joseph, Duke of Vendôme in battle. He fell in disgrace and left the French army. Being grand prior he hurried to Malta to defend it in 1715, but the Turks never came.
He spent time in Italy and was banned to Lyon when he returned. After Louis XIV's death the regent allowed him back to Paris and the court. The Grand Prior hosted a literary, philosophical, and libertine circle, known as the Temple Society [fr], of which young Voltaire was a member. In 1719 he sold his office of Grand Prior and died unmarried in Paris in 1727.
