Orleans fortune divided after confiscation decree
A London Morning Chronicle summary explains the 19th century division of the Orleans estate into four categories: crown apanage, Louis Philippe’s private property, Louis Philippe II’s acquired lands, and Madame Adelaide’s inherited holdings. The sale terms, total purchase money between 36 and 87 million francs, and the eight equal shares for descendants are detailed, with implications for the Duke of Paris and other princes as fractions are allocated per stirpes, possibly leaving some heirs destitute.
