Biography

Louis XVI, born Louis Auguste de France, was the last king of France, ruling from 1774 to 1792. Succeeding the crown at only 20 years old, Louis XVI was unequipped to rule due to his inexperience and shy nature. He and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were executed in 1793 following the French Revolution in 1789.
