Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, duc de Chartres, and later on duc d'Orléans, also known as Philippe d'Orléans and Philippe Égalité after 1792, was a French prince of the blood born at the Château de Saint-Cloud on 13 April 1747. He was guillotined in Paris on 6 November 1793. He was the father of the French king Louis-Philippe I.
Son of Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, Duke of Orléans and Louise-Henriette de Bourbon, Princess of the Blood, he was titled Duke of Montpensier at his birth in 1747 and then, on the death of his grandfather, Louis, Duke of Orléans, he was given the title of Duke of Chartres. He descended in the male line from the regent Philippe II d'Orléans and King Louis XIII, but also from King Louis XIV through Françoise-Marie de Bourbon, the wife of the regent and legitimate daughter of Louis XIV and the Marquise de Montespan.
Louis Philippe has become infamous due to his vote in favour of the execution of his cousin King Louis XVI.
