The last Bourbon king of France, King Louis XVI is most famous for falling victim to the clutches of the French Revolution. He most notably met his demise with the blade of the guillotine.

Although King Louis tried to implement social reforms and lower taxes, which was what peasants needed at the time, he was a pushover, to put it nicely. He was unable to control his nobility and succumbed to their demands. He is described as shy, indecisive, and quiet.
