Where and why did opposition to Louis XVIII develop?
Despite success, Louis was always under strain
due to the demands of the Ultras.
•Who were the Ultras?
•What did they want?
•What was the White Terror of 1816 and why did they
encourage it?
•Louis XVIII recognised the danger of such revenge but
yet he could not stop the Ultras – why?
•How did the Ultras affect the Civil Service and local
government?
•What else did they demand that contradicted the
regulations of the Charter? (There are two things you
should identify).

(50-100 words max)
'An Incident in the White Terror, 1815', 1895. General Count Gilly
in hiding in a peasant's house in the neighbourhood of Anduze in
the South of France. The Second White Terror occurred in France
in 1815 after the overthrow of Napoleon and the restoration of the
monarchy in the person of Louis XVIII. People suspected of
having links to Napoleon or the French Revolution were arrested,
imprisoned and, in some cases, executed. Jacques Laurent Gilly, a
general under Napoleon, was condemned to death in 1816. He
stayed hidden at Anduze until 1819. By 1820 the political climate
had become more liberal and Gilly was pardoned and had his rank
and honours restored. A print from The Magazine of Art, Cassell
and Company, Limited, London, Paris and Melbourne, 1895.
