Hugo married his childhood friend Adèle Foucher in 1822 and the pair had five children, one of whom died in infancy. However, as he grew older, his views began to change and, by the end of his life, Hugo supported democracy and the idea of a people’s Republic to keep the monarchy in check. As a young man, Hugo took his mother’s side in politics and religion and wrote several pieces of work that showcased his loyalty to the monarchy and the Church. Léopold was an officer in the French army and Hugo and his family travelled throughout Italy and Spain while Hugo was a child. Léopold had been a supporter of Napoleon and the people’s Republic during the French Revolution, which took place in 1789 and in which the French monarchy was deposed, while Sophie was a strict Catholic and Royalist. His parents, Léopold and Sophie, had differing political and religious views.
Victor Hugo was born in Franche-Comte, in France, in 1802.
