Louis XVI was a French king born in 1754, who succeeded his grandfather Louis XV and ascended the throne at age 20. His rule was marked by attempts to reform the government according to Enlightenment ideals, which were met with hostility from the French nobility. He implemented deregulation of grain prices, supported American colonists' independence from Great Britain, and attempted to reduce taxation on serfs and workers. Louis XVI's indecision caused unrest among members of lower classes, prompting events like the storming of the Bastille which resulted in him recognizing legislative authority over himself. With rebellion spreading through France, Louis XVI unsuccessfully attempted to flee but ended up captured and tried for high treason. He was executed on 21 January 1793 by guillotine as a de-sacralized citizen under the name Citizen Louis Capet. His death brought an end to more than a thousand years of continuous monarchy in France; both his sons died before they reached adulthood while his only surviving child Marie Th r se eventually passed away without children in 1851.

Louis XVI was a gentle and unassuming man who did not want to be king but attempted to work for the welfare of his people--until his government was engulfed by the violent upheavals of the French Revolution. Facing the rapidly changing desires of his subjects, he gave way to the policies they demanded. Few rulers have acquiesced to such startling changes of government within such a brief span of time. Louis XVI lacked the charisma of Marie Antoinette, but he is remarkable for the courage he exhibited when facing violent armed men only a few feet away. The quiet dignity with which he approached his execution has been praised by countless people, including Albert Camus and Victor Hugo. This biography traces the painfully exciting events involving Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and their two children. The royal family was first taken by a violent mob from Versailles to Paris. They attempted an escape but it failed when they had almost reached safety. A year later the king and queen were guillotined.

Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792
Ambrogio A. Caiani
Cambridge University Press

sidottu
The experience, and failure, of Louis XVI's short-lived constitutional monarchy of 1789–92 deeply influenced the politics and course of the French Revolution. The dramatic breakdown of the political settlement of 1789 steered the French state into the decidedly stormy waters of political terror and warfare on an almost global scale. This book explores how the symbolic and political practices which underpinned traditional Bourbon kingship ultimately succumbed to the radical challenge posed by the Revolution's new 'proto-republican' culture. While most previous studies have focused on Louis XVI's real and imagined foreign counterrevolutionary plots, Ambrogio A. Caiani examines the king's hitherto neglected domestic activities in Paris. Drawing on previously unexplored archival source material, Caiani provides an alternative reading of Louis XVI in this period, arguing that the monarch's symbolic behaviour and the organisation of his daily activities and personal household were essential factors in the people's increasing alienation from the newly established constitutional monarchy.
