The Bourbon Restoration (1814-15; 1815-1830) is divided into three periods:
1) The First Restoration (04/06/1814-03/20/1815), which saw the restoration of the French crown under Louis XVIII shortly after Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile to Elba (where he did not remain for long).
2) The Hundred Days (03/20/1815-07/08/15), a brief Napoleonic interregnum ending with Napoleon’s defeat at the Battle of Waterloo (in present-day Belgium).
3) The Second Restoration (1815-1830), which lasted until the July Revolution of 1830 deposed King Charles X (r. 1824-1830) until he was ultimately replaced by Louis Philippe I (r. 1830-1848).
