 Louis XVI of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis' father was Louis, dauphin de France (1729-1765), the only son of Louis XV of France, and who died at age 36, while Louis XV was still alive.
Louis was nowhere near as reactionary as his right-wing brothers, the comte d'Artois and the comte de Provence, and he sent repeated messages publicly and privately calling on them to halt their attempts to launch counter-coups (often through his secretly nominated regent, former minister de Brienne).
On June 21, 1791, Louis attempted to flee secretly from Paris to modern-day Belgium (then part of the Austrian Empire) with his family in the hope of forcing a moderate swing in the revolution than was deemed possible in radical Paris.
