caption: PHILIP D'ORLEANS (1674-1723), son of Philip I of Bourbon-Orleans (brother of Louis XIV) and Elizabeth Charlotte of Bavaria. In 1705 officially he reconstituted the Order of the Templars, claiming to be the successor of the "Master of the Temple" Jacques-Henry de Durfort and convening a General Chapter in Versailles who authenticated the right. Appointed Chairman of the Council of Regency on the death of Louis XIV, then became a recognized regent of Louis XV by parliament, and compromise the finances of the kingdom by means of the laws he enacted system, which was affected by his personal political inclinations as much as his incompetence in the economy. Atheist and debauched, was a supporter of Jansenism; also supported the education and instruction, promoted successful military campaigns, but his reign is mainly remembered for the moral corruption and the luxury pleasure-loving court. At the beginning of 1723, when the young king came of age, he condescended to retreat in the role of Prime Minisro of the Sovereign, which he held until his death at the end of that year.
