The French king from 1774, Louis XVI, was poorly equipped for the role of national leader at a difficult time. His tragedy was that he had good intentions and a strong sense of responsibility. But he was shy and awkward and lacked the required political skills and charisma. Decades of failure for the French in foreign and domestic affairs, resulted in a profound crisis of legitimacy for the monarchy, resulting in the famous revolution of 1789www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic from Hector Berlioz (Symphonie Fantastique), courtesy of www.musopen.orgPicture - Jean-Pierre Houël - The storming of the Bastille, July 14, 1789 Hosted on Acast.
