The Comte de Chambord (styled Henry V. by the French Legitimists), 1883. 'The expected death of this French Prince, who has long been regarded by the Legitimist party as King Henry V. of France, and who formally assumed that style and title in his proclamation of July, 1871, does not seem likely to have any important political consequences at present; but it may, by the extinction in his person of the elder branch of the Royal House of Bourbon, invest the Count de Paris, as Head of the House of Orleans, with an hereditary claim to the reversion in the view of that party, however remote be the chances of a Restoration of the French Monarchy...After the downfall of the Emperor Napoleon III., in 1870...the Count de Chambord published manifestoes in which he claimed to reign over France; and he was permitted to visit Paris, and to sojourn at the Chateau of Chambord. But neither the Orleanists nor the Republicans were disposed to give way to his pretensions...He retired, therefore, to a comparatively secluded residence at Frohsdorf, near Vienna, where he was visited, in August, 1873, by the Count de Paris and the other Orleanist Princes, who from that date formally acknowledged him as the head of the French Royal family'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
