Louis XVI of France

Description: (King of France)

Louis XVI was one of the famous monarchs of the 18th century. He was the last king of France before the French Revolution put an end to the monarchy. The king was primarily known for being eloquent since an early age; he was fluent in languages, such as Italian and English. He was crowned the supreme of France during his teenage years and had to deal with the great responsibility of stabilizing the nation's economy. Though initially criticized for his inefficient administration, Louis went on to silence his critics with his perfectly strategized moves. Taking all challenges into his stride, he managed to solve the problems of the nation and become an efficient leader. He gave his subjects the liberty to follow the religion of their choice, which was considered an unorthodox move by a ruler at that time; this is regarded as one of his most important decisions. As a leader of his country, Louis XVI's sole aim was to earn the love and respect of his subjects through his administration. Unfortunately, the king was toppled by revolutionaries who wanted to put an end to monarchy and pave the way for democracy. Thus, Louis XVI became the last king of France.
