Louis Stanislas Xavier

Louis Stanislas Xavier (Born 17 November 1755), titled comte de Provence at birth, was the younger brother of Louis XVI of France. In 1791, he declared himself the Regent of France and Navarre. After the Battle of Signe, Louis XVI officially recognized Xavier's regency. Xavier was the de facto leader of French emigres.

While in the Austrian Netherlands, Louis Stanislas Xavier publicly declared his intention to invade France for the purpose of restoring the powers of the monarchy, and raised L'Armee des Princes to do so. He would get his opportunity when the First Coalition declared war on France.
