Philippe d'Orléans

French prince and military figure

About Philippe

Philippe d'Orléans was the nephew of King Louis XIV of France. Despite his promising military talents, he was often sidelined by the king, who preferred his own children and illegitimate sons. Sent to Spain in 1707 to support his grandnephew, King Philippe V, Philippe d'Orléans struggled to gain the king's trust throughout his life.
