Born Louis Charles, Duke of Normandy on 27 March 1785, he was the younger son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. When his older brother Louis Joseph died in June 1789, just weeks before the Revolution began, he became Dauphin - then Prince Royal under the 1791 constitution. His father's execution on 21 January 1793 made him Louis XVII in the eyes of royalists, though France was already a republic and the boy remained imprisoned. He died in captivity on 8 June 1795 at age ten, never having ruled. In 1814, after the Bourbon Restoration, his uncle took the throne as Louis XVIII, proclaiming himself the child king's successor.
