Louis Philippe I

About Louis Philippe I

Louis Philippe I served as the King of the French from 1830 until his abdication in the Revolution of 1848, ruling during the July Monarchy. As a significant political figure of the 19th century, his reign marked a transition away from the more absolute monarchies that followed the Napoleonic era, characterized by a more liberal, bourgeois-centric constitutional monarchy. His historical importance, reflected in his Pantheon HPI Rank of #946, stems from his role in shaping the political landscape of France during a period of European upheaval.

Despite his clear historical significance, Louis Philippe I exhibits a significant internet attention gap. He accrued approximately 781K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025, which, relative to his importance ranking, results in an "overattention" score of +3x. This suggests that, by this metric, he receives attention three times greater than expected compared to other figures ranked by the Pantheon project. However, a comparison with Reinhard Heydrich, ranked similarly at #949, reveals Heydrich drew 1.5M views—more than double the attention for a comparable level of historical importance.

Looking at recent trends, interest in Louis Philippe appears to be gently receding; the figure saw a 1.5% year-over-year decline in views and a sharper 9% drop in momentum between Q1 and Q3 of 2025, suggesting his current online footprint is slightly eroding.
