King Charles supported his brother, King Louis XVIII while he was away in exile. Charles later went on to succeed Louis. King Charles' rule of six years came to an end with the July Revolution of 1830, which resulted in his abdication and election of Louis Philippe as King of the French. Charles was later exiled and died in Gorizia. He was the last of the French rulers from the senior line of the House of Bourbon.
