The initial may be that of Henri of Bourbon, comte de Chambord (1820-1883), pretender to the French throne after 1836. He was the son of Charles Ferdinand d'Artois, duc de Berry (1778-1820), nephew of King Louis XVIII of France (1755-1824), and his wife Princess Marie-Caroline of Naples (1798-1870).
