Le Incompétent King: Louis XVI of France

King Louis XVI was ill-prepared to be king of France at the tender age of 19. He was, however, fully prepared to meet his fatal end at the guillotine. Hated by the majority of France, he and his wife, Marie Antoinette, were tried for high treason amidst the French Revolution. Louis just wanted to have fun and be adored by all of his subjects, though! Too bad incompetent kings don't make it past the age of 40. Come back to Versailles as Elizabeth and Megan re-visit the French Revolution and share the story of King Louis XVI.
