 ²Having been deposed de facto by the July revolution and having fled the capital, on 2 Aug 1830, King Charles X (s.a.) formally abdicated in writing, bypassing his son the heir (dauphin) Louis-Antoine
d'Artois, petit-fils de France, duc d'Angoulême (b. 1775 - d. 1844) (a prospective "Louis XIX") in favor of his grandson, Henri Charles Ferdinand Marie Dieudonné d'Artois, petit-fils de France, duc de Bourdeaux (b. 1820 - d. 1883) as presumptive "Henri V." The duc d'Angoulême accepted this decision by countersigning the letter of abdication after about 20 minutes of deliberations. Neither the duc d'Angoulême nor the duc de Bourdeaux were regarded, proclaimed, installed or recorded as king. Instead the parliament declared the throne vacant (7 Aug 1830) and subsequently raised the regent, Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, duc d'Orléans (s.a.), to the royal office on 9 Aug 1830.

 3On 9 Apr 1794, Philibert Buchot (b. 1751 - d. 1813) Mont, acting for Herman, chaired the last official meeting of the Provisional Executive Council.

 4The term Prime minister (Premier ministre) was only introduced in the constitution of the "Fifth Republic" that went into effect 8 Jan 1959. Previously the principal minister was called Président du Conseil des Ministres (President of the Council of Ministers)(9 Jul 1815 - 1 Aug 1830, 22 Jan 1947 - 8 Jan 1959); Président du Conseil (President of the Council)(1 Aug 1830 - 31 Oct 1849, 8 Mar 1876 - 18 Apr 1942); Ministre d'État (Minister of State)(31 Oct 1849 - 17 Jul 1869); Vice-Président du Conseil (Vice President of the Council)(2 Sep 1871 - 9 Mar 1876); Chef du Gouvernement (Chief of the Government)(18 Apr 1942 - 22 Aug 1944); and Président du Gouvernement Provisoire (President of the Provisional Government)(3 Jun 1944 - 22 Jan 1947); although (a) there was no such position mentioned in the constitution, and (b) the formal Conseil des Ministres was (as it continues to be) chaired by the president of the republic, the Président du Conseil chairing only the (technically informal) Conseil de cabinet.

French Revolutionary Calendar Note: The French Republican calendar was imposed on France by Law on 5 Oct 1793. Dates were calculated from the Autumn Equinox. 22 Sep 1792, which became the first day of An I ("Year 1"). The standard year was split into 12 thirty day months with five (or six) additional days (depending on leap years). The thirty day months were named by the distinguished poet Fabre d'Eglantine, each month having its own appropriate symbolism,
three months were assigned to each season: The autumn months were named Vendémiaire ("month of vintage"), Brumaire ("month of fog, mist"), and Frimaire ("month of frost"); the winter months, Nivose ("month of snow"), Pluviose ("month of rain"), and Ventose ("month of wind"); the spring months, Germinal ("month of seed, budding"), Floréal ("month of blossoms"), and Prairial ("month of meadow"); and the summer months, Messidor ("month of harvest"), Thermidor ("month of heat"), and Fructidor ("month of fruits"). Each of these months was subdivided into three décades of ten days: Primidi, Duodi, Tridi, Quartidi, Qunintidi, Sextidi, Septidi, Octidi, Nonidi, and Decadi the day of rest. The five (or six) days remaining at the end of the year were designated national holidays or san culottides: jour de la vertu ("virtue day"), jour du génie ("genius day"), jour du labour ("labor day"), jour da la raison ("reason day"), jour de la récompense ("reward day"), and jour de la révolution ("revolution day") on leap years.  For obvious reasons, the calendar was unwieldy, impractical, and unpopular. Reforms were proposed, but instead Napoleon ordered the re-introduction of the traditional Gregorian calendar on 1 Jan 1806, thus condemning to death the Revolutionary calendar on 10 Nivose XIV.
