Robert, duke of Chartres

Robert, duke of Chartres

Robert Philippe Louis Eugène Ferdinand of Orléans, Duke of Chartres (9 November 1840, Paris - 5 December 1910, Saint Firmin) was the son of prince Ferdinand Philippe d'Orléans and thus grandson of king Louis-Philippe of France. He fought for the Union in the American Civil War, and then for France in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War. In 1863 he married his cousin Françoise d’Orléans (1844–1925) in Kingston-on-Thames - she was the daughter of François d’Orléans. In 1886 he was exiled from France.

Issue

Robert and Françoise had 5 children:
* Marie of Orléans (1865–1909), who in 1885 married Prince Valdemar of Denmark, son of king Christian IX of Denmark.

* Robert d'Orléans (1866-1885).

* Henri d'Orléans (1867-1901).

* Marguerite d'Orléans (1869-1940), who in 1896 married Marie-Armand-Patrice de Mac-Mahon, duc de Magenta.
* Jean d'Orléans (1874-1940), "duc de Guise", and Orléanist pretender to the throne of France as "Jean II", who in 1899 married his first cousin Isabelle d'Orléans (1878-1961), daughter of the comte de Paris.
