 | | Louis was born at Versailles on August 23, 1754, the grandson of Louis XV. | | | The deaths of his two elder brothers and of his father, only son of Louis XV, made the young prince the Dauphin of France in 1765. | | | He was forced to resign in 1781, and statesman Charles Alexandre de Calonne, appointed finance minister in 1783, borrowed money for the court until 1786, when the borrowing limit was reached. |

| | 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). | | | 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 XVIII (November 17, 1755 - September 16, 1824) was King of France and Navarre from 1814 (although he declared that he considered his reign to have begun in 1795) until his death in 1824, with a brief break in 1815 due to Napoleons return in the Hundred Days. |

| | In 1660, Louis XIV married Maria Theresa, Infanta of Spain. | | | The regency, confided to his mother, Anne of Austria, was marked by a period of rebellion known as the Fronde (1648-1653), led first by the nobility and later by the urban commoners. | | | He was only five when he became king on the death of his father, Louis XIII. |

| | His father, called Philippe-Egalité, even voted for the death sentence during the trial of Louis XVI (Philippe-Egalité would himself be guillotined several months later). | | | After twenty years of wandering from the United States to the northern tip of Norway, Louis-Philippe returned to France where the Restoration (1814-1830) placed Louis XVI's two brothers on the throne (Louis XVIII, followed by Charles X). | | | In July 1830, another pro-republican revolution broke out, but the legislature preferred a constitutional monarchy - Louis-Philippe, as duke of Orléans, was offered the crown in exchange for honouring a charter that limited his powers. |

| | As Franklin was leaving office in 1784 to return home to America, Louis resolved to present the great savant with a token of his appreciation, a small present of the kind often tendered to departing diplomats. | | | The humble American colonial, Benjamin Franklin, was also the most skilled courtier and diplomat in the early Republic, ingratiating himself personally to Louis XVI of France. | | | Some wags have suggested that Sarah justified her action by arguing that while Benjamin disapproved of jewelry, he approved education, and if nothing else, travel is educational. |

| | When Louis had first ascended the throne, his chief financial officer was a man named Anne Robert Jacques Turgot (1727-1781), who was a brilliant and creative administrator. | | | Like most noblewomen, she was raised in an isolated atmosphere; her life at the French court was, like Louis's, utterly isolated from the non-aristrocratic world. | | | The Revolution took her and Louis by surprise; while she was vilified and hated by the Revolutionaries and the Third Estate, she had no part in any of the abuses of the government or the nobility which precipitated the Revolution. |
