Charles X was the King of France from 1824 to 1830. He was a member of the Bourbon dynasty and the younger brother of Louis XVI, who was executed during the French Revolution. Charles X was known for his conservative policies and efforts to restore the monarchy's power, which led to growing discontent among the French people. His reign ended with the July Revolution of 1830, which forced him to abdicate the throne. Following his abdication, Charles X went into exile in England and later settled in Graham's Castle in Scotland, where he lived until his death in 1836.
