Berry, Charles Ferdinand de Bourbon, Duc de 1778-1820
French aristocrat
He was born at Versailles, the second son of Charles X. During the Revolution and Empire he lived in exile in Russia and England. In 1814 he returned to France, was appointed commander of the troops in and around Paris (1815), and in 1816 married Caroline (1798-1870), eldest daughter of Francis, afterwards King of the Two Sicilies. Assassinated by the Bonapartist fanatic Pierre Louis Louvel in front of the Paris Opéra, he left only a daughter; but the same year the widowed duchess gave birth to Henri, Comte de Chambord.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
