La Chambre introuvable is the name given by king Louis XVIII of France to the 1815-1816 Chamber of Deputies dominated by Ultra-royalists who completely refused the inheritance of the French Revolution. Elected on August 14, 1815 and called together on October 7, 1815, after elections under census suffrage which results surprised the monarch, the reactionary Chambre introuvable was thus the first assembly of the Second Bourbon Restoration (1815-1830). Sprung out of nowhere, the "Unobtainable Chamber" characterized itself by its ultra-royalism, its clericalism, its excessive zele in favour of the aristocracy and the clergy, and its reactionnary politics destined to reestablish the Ancien Régime. The Chambre introuvable voted the establishment of provost-marshal courts, and banished all of the Conventionnels whom had voted Louis XVI's execution. Confronted to its impopularity and rising discontent in French society, Louis XVIII was finally forced to dissolve it on September 5, 1816, and the Ultras' were temporarily replaced by the liberal Orleanists whom attempted to conciliate the Revolution's inheritance with the monarchy. Louis XVIII (November 17, 1755 - September 16, 1824) was King of France and Navarre from 1814 (although he declared that he considered his reign to have begun in 1795) until his death in 1824, with a brief break in 1815 due to Napoleons return in the Hundred Days. ...
