Louis XVIII of France
Louis XVIII (Louis Stanislas Xavier; 17 November 1755 – 16 September 1824), known as "the Desired" (le Désiré), was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who ruled as King of France from 1814 to 1824 except for a period in 1815 known as the Hundred Days. Louis XVIII spent twenty-three years in exile, from 1791 to 1814, during the French Revolution and the First French Empire, and again in 1815, during the period of the Hundred Days, upon the return of Napoleon I from Elba.
Until his accession to the throne of France, Louis held the title of Count of Provence as brother of King Louis XVI. On 21 September 1792, the National Convention abolished the monarchy and deposed King Louis XVI, who was later executed by guillotine. When the young Louis XVII, Louis XVI's son, died in prison in June 1795, Louis XVIII succeeded his nephew as titular King.
During the French Revolution and Napoleonic era, Louis XVIII lived in exile in Prussia, the United Kingdom and Russia. When the Sixth Coalition finally defeated Napoleon in 1814, Louis was placed in what he, and the French royalists, considered his rightful position. Napoleon escaped from his exile in Elba, however, and restored his French Empire. Louis XVIII fled and a Seventh Coalition declared war on the French Empire, defeated Napoleon, and restored Louis XVIII to the French throne.

Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Reine Schmaltz und einer großen Eskorte reist Schmaltz von Rochefort nach Saint Louis. Doch die unter dem Kommando des starrsinnigen Chaumareys stehende Fregatte "Méduse" läuft vor der Küste Senegals auf eine Sandbank. Während sich die privilegierten Passagiere neben der Familie des Gouverneurs in Rettungsboote flüchtet, bleibt 150 Besatzungsmitgliedern nur ein Floß, das von den Schaluppen abgeschleppt werden soll.

Quotes:
Edmond Dantes: [to Mondego after defeating him in a duel] It was not my sword, Mondego, but your past that disarmed you!Danglars: I'm tried of playing second fiddle to Rothschild, Laurenti and Monte Cristo! From now on when we meet, I want THEM to take their hats off first!
[last lines]::Albert de Mondego: [to Dantes and Mercedes who are up in the branches of a tree] Can we come up?::Edmond Dantes: Find your own tree.
Edmond Dantes: [referring to the now-insane Danglars] A mental suicide, doctor.::Doctor: Mental suicide?::Edmond Dantes: Yes. He destroyed his mind with an overdose of two deadly poisons.::Doctor: Poisons!::Edmond Dantes: Avarice and Greed
Edmond Dantes: [to Mondego upon realizing that he has been betrayed] Oh, I see! Danglas told you about Elba and the letter because he wanted to be captain! And you told the magistrate because... because of Mercedes! You appeared here as my friends!
Danglars: [after Dantes has been taken away to the Chateau d'If] Will you want me anymore, sir?::Raymond de Villefort Jr.: No.::Danglars: Not for the trial?::Raymond de Villefort Jr.: He's had his trial.
Fernand de Mondego: My son, you are now a viscount.::Albert, Age 8: But I don't want to be a viscount. I want to be a sailor.::Fernand de Mondego: You'll be a viscount on your father's side.
Abbe Faria: [he is dying] When people die, we feel a grief because their minds are lost to us. How fortunate am I... I leave my mind behind in your possession; it is part of yours. Use it as an instrument for justice. My blessing... Edmond, if you could only see. Death is so beautiful [he dies]
Edmond Dantes: [after finding the treasure] My dear abbe... if you were only really here beside me to see. You were right. The world is mine.

Even the soul is not the same.::Mercedes de Rosas: I can believe that.
