Chambre introuvable
La Chambre introuvable (French for "Unobtainable Chamber") was the first Chamber of Deputies after the Second Bourbon Restoration (1815-1830). It was dominated by Ultra-royalists who completely refused to accept the results of the French Revolution. The name was coined by King Louis XVIII of France.The elections, held on August 141815 under census suffrage and under the impact of the "White Terror", produced a heavy ultra-royalist majority: 350 of the 402 members were ultra-royalists.The "Unobtainable Chamber", which was first assembled on October 71815, was characterized its zeal in favour of the aristocracy and the clergy and aimed at reestablishing the Ancien Régime. The Chambre introuvable voted the establishment of provost-marshal courts, and banished all of the Conventionnels who had voted for Louis XVI's execution.
