Philippe Egalite, Duc d'Orleans was the man who 'funded the revolution', was the first to stand up to Louis XVI, cast the deciding vote for said King's execution and was several times offered the role of constitutional monarch. This biography argues that much of the impetus for Louis Philippe's liberal ideology sprung from his Anglophilia.
