Louis XVI (August 23 1754 – January 21 1793), was born in Versailles, King of France and Kingdom of Navarre from 1774 until 1791, and then King of the French in 1791-1792.
Louis' father was name (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).
