LouisXVII 1795

When his father was executed on 21 January 1793, during the middle-period of the French Revolution, he became "King of France"
in the eyes of the royalists. However, since France was by then a republic, and Louis XVII had been imprisoned from August 1792 until his death
from illness in 1795 at the age of 10, he never actually governed. His title stems from monarchist theory, whereby there is always a monarch;
on the death of one monarch, the heir apparent or failing that the heir presumptive are immediately monarch. His title was the reason why on his death
his uncle took the regnal name of Louis XVIII of France rather than Louis XVII, retaining it upon the Bourbon Restoration in 1814.

Louis XVII (27 March 1785 – 8 June 1795), born Louis-Charles, was the younger son of King Louis XVI of France and
Queen Marie Antoinette.He was at birth given the title Duke of Normandy. His older brother, Louis Joseph, died in June 1789,
a little over a month before the start of the French Revolution. At his brother's death he became the heir apparent to the throne
& the Dauphin of France, a title he held until 1791, when the new constitution accorded the heir apparent the style of Prince Royal of France.

Louis-Charles de France was born at the Palace of Versailles, the second son and third child of his parents,
Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette.[1] He was named after his father and his mother's favourite sister Maria Carolina,
Queen of Naples and Sicily, who was known as Charlotte in the family, Charles being the masculine version of her name.
His younger sister, Sophie, was born a little over a year later. He became the Dauphin on the death of his elder brother, Louis-Joseph, on 4 June 1789.
