France, History Of, Attempts at a restoration
The monarchists, however, still held a comfortable majority in the assembly and continued to hope and plan for a restoration. Legitimists and Orleanists remained at odds, but a compromise seemed possible. The Bourbon pretender, the Count de Chambord (�the miracle child� of 1820), was old and childless; the Orleanist pretender, Philippe, Count de Paris, was young and prolific.
