August 1830 CE

King Charles, together with his son, the duc d’Angouleme, abdicates on August 2 in favor of his grandson, the Comte de Chambord, and leaves for England.

However, the liberal, bourgeois-controlled Chamber of Deputies refuses to confirm Chambord as Henri V.

In a vote largely boycotted by conservative deputies, the body declares the French throne vacant, and names Louis-Philippe, the ‘citizen-king’, to preside over a constitutional monarchy.

He rules, not as "King of France" but as "King of the French," marking the shift to national sovereignty.
