I. Charles de Valois, duke of, natural son of Charles IX. of France by Marie Touehet, born April 28, 1573, died Sept. 24, 1650. He received from Catharine de' Medici the counties of Auvergne and Lauragais, married the daughter of the constable de Montmorency, distinguished himself at the battles of Arques, Ivry, and Fontaine Francaise, but was sentenced to perpetual imprisonment for certain intrigues with his uterine sister, the marquise de Verneuil. Released in 1616, he conducted the siege of Soissons the next year, obtained from Louis XIII. the duchy of Angouleine in 1619, and besieged Rochelle in 1628. He took part also in the wars of Languedoc, Germany, and Flanders. He left Alemoires of the reigns of Henry III. and Henry IV., a Relation de Vori-gine et succes den cherifs, et de petat des roy-aumes de Maroc, Fez et Tarudant, translated from the Spanish of Diego de Torres, and some other writings, all of which have been published.

II. Lonis Antoinc de Bourbon, duke of, eldest son of Charles X. of France and Marie Therese of Savoy, born at Versailles, Aug. 6, 1775, died at Gorz, June 3, 1844. At the outbreak of the revolution he accompanied his father (then duke of Artois) to Turin, where he spent a few years in military studies. In 1792 he received a command in Germany, but he was not fitted for a soldier, and soon withdrew from the field, retiring with his father to Holy-rood, and subsequently joining his uncle Louis XV11I. at Blankenburg and Mitau. At the latter place he married, June 10, 1709, his cousin Marie Therese Charlotte, daughter of Louis XVI. During the hundred days he was appointed lieutenant general of the kingdom, and made a weak attempt to oppose the emperor; but his troops abandoned him, and after a few days' detention as a prisoner he was sent to Barcelona. After the second restoration he was charged with the suppression of disorders in the southern provinces, and in 1823 commanded the army of intervention which put down the revolution in Spain. In July, 1830, he signed with his father the act of abdication in favor of his nephew the duke of Bordeaux (now Count de Chambord), and Avent into exile with the rest of the royal family. He was a man of mean abilities and sluggish disposition.

III. Marie Therese Charlotte, duchess of, wife of the preceding, and daughter of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette, born at Versailles Dec. 19, 1778, died at Frohsdorf, Oct. 19, 1851. She shared the imprisonment of her parents in the Temple, and after their execution was held in captivity till December, 1795, when Austria procured her liberation in exchange for certain members of the convention. She lived at Vienna till her marriage, known by the title of madame royale. Afterward she shared the vicissitudes of her husband's exile, sustaining his courage by her superior spirit and intelligence, returning with him to France in 1814, and exerting a great influence over the troops at Bordeaux during the hundred days, so that Napoleon called her " the only man in the family." At the time of the July revolution she was at Dijon, and made a dangerous journey in disguise to Rambouillet, where she rejoined the duke. She went with the royal family to England, where her husband and she assumed the titles of count and countess of Marne. They lived some time at Ilolyrood, but the climate of Scotland proving too severe for the countess, they removed to the continent.
