A man in a 19th-century salon expresses his support for the Orleanist cause.

Definition

Noun: A supporter of the Orleans branch of the French royal Bourbon dynasty, which was descended from Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of King Louis XIV. Historically, an Orleanist was a partisan of the constitutional monarchy under the House of Orléans, particularly during the 19th century following the July Revolution of 1830.

Usage

The term is used primarily in historical and political contexts to describe a supporter of a specific claimant or branch within French monarchical politics. * The Orleanist faction advocated for a king from the House of Orléans rather than the elder, legitimist Bourbon line. * After the abdication of Charles X, the Orleanists succeeded in placing Louis-Philippe on the throne.

Advanced Usage

• The term can be used adjectivally in historical analysis (e.g., Orleanist policies, the Orleanist monarchy).
