What if he died decades before being an important historical figure during the events of the July Revolution in 1830 until the end of his reign in 1848 ? After the disastrous battle of Neerwinden , the 20 year old officier collaborated in General Dumouriez´s plan to march back to Paris and overthrow the Jakobin Revolutionary government. So he could have lost his head, if he hadn´t fled to the Austrian lines and instead had been caught.
When he went to Reichenau, Switzerland , he lived under a false name, because previous French emigrants of the Revolution ( Louis father voted for the King´s death) were angry against him as a previous supporter of the Revolution. He could have died young several times. What consequences would it have to French and European history, if the duke of Orleans´, also a promoter of French colonialism and founder of the Foreign Legion, died at this point of time ?
