Résumé
Catholics and dissident French royalists from the beginning of the nineteenth century around the journalists F. de La Mennais and P.-S. Laurentie wanted to reconstitute a new Catholic monarchy against the compromise made by Louis XVIII. It was necessary to renew the links with the ancien régime against the revolutionary legacy, and to compensate for the monarchy’s more distant flaws, caused according to them by the distancing of the Church’s power. After the July Revolution in 1830, these royalists reconfigured a modern monarchy behind ‘Henry V’ to make a Third Restoration possible. But there were many disagreements among the Legitimists: between the Parisian ‘Henriquists’ and the absolutist émigrés who favoured Charles X, war raged after 1830, not to mention the opposition they waged against the Orleanists. These neo-legitimists then decided to open up more to modernity and demanded freedoms of association, religion and the press, inspired by the followers of La Mennais. They also sought unity with Catholics and wanted to participate in elections. But this political line was opposed to that of Genoude and the absolutists. Later, Montalembert separated Catholics and royalists and shattered any hope of unity and the creation of a large party under the July Monarchy.
