Louis XVIThis is a featured page

louis xviLouis XVI was the French king from 1754 to 1793, during the French Revolution. He began rule at the age of 16 while inexperienced in ruling a country. Though loved at first, his indecisiveness and conservatism led many of the people of France to revolution. He and his wife, Marie Antoinette of Austria, ignored the people, and were arrested, tried, and convicted, of treason after attempting to escape France into Austria. He was sentenced to death by guillotine and executed in January of 1793, followed by his wife soon after.
