In total he spent 23 years in exile, including during the French Revolution, the First French Empire and a brief period during his reign due to the Hundred Days in 1815. During the Napoleonic era he lived in exile in Prussia, England, and Russia. His reign is notable for the rise of the Doctrinaires, the Quintuple Alliance and the military intervention in Spain.
He originally held the title of Count of Provence. After his brother's execution, he proclaimed himself King.

He was the grandson of the reigning king, King Louis XV. His two eldest brothers passed away, leaving him second in line for the throne.
