Abstract
At each upheaval breaking the continuity of the regime, in 1848, in 1871, royalism will enjoy the benefits of its very nature: faithful to the legitimate sovereign it will survive the accidents of history. The only incident capable perhaps of digging at its roots will be a mere dynastic incident: the death of the Comte de Chambord... With Henri V, the King is dead. The royalists then faced a new problem: can royalism survive the King? Does the monarchical idea retain a raison d’être and a semblance of reality beyond the person of the Monarch?1
