Encyclopedia > Ultraroyalist

The term Ultra-Royalists or simply Ultra's refers to a reactionary faction which sat in the French parliament from 1815 to 1830.


It held a majority in the Chamber of Deputies in 1815-1816 (la Chambre introuvable) and from 1824 to 1827.


Their primary target was the restoration of the Ancien Régime in France and was thus strongly supported by King Charles X, while Louis XVIII was probably more fond to the moderate constitutionalist royalists.


After the July Revolution the ultras softened their views and made the Bourbon restoration on the throne their new primary target. From 1830 on they have been called Legitimists.

Kingdom of France: 1814-1830 (1395 words)
The adoption of the Chart in 1814 upset the ultraroyalists, better known as the ultras, who demanded its suppression and the restoration of the Ancient Regime as it was in 1789.
One of the main claims of the ultraroyalists was the restoration of the symbols of the Ancient Regime, and especially the royal white flag.
The flag mostly pleased by the ultras was the white flag with a semy of yellow fleurs-de-lys.
