It is Louis XVI who they still regard as a tyrant and a despot though. There are even modern French authors who will say with one breath they are against the death penalty and with the next that Louis's judicial killing was just.Jack B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10535561070313996833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-82168891624052742582012-01-24T08:26:18.305-05:002012-01-24T08:26:18.305-05:00Thank you so very much for that article by the Mad...Thank you so very much for that article by the Mad Monarchist. The article speaks the truth and not what the history books and supporters of the revolution will have us believe. I always felt Louis XVI had the potential to be France's greatest king. His faith, his devotion to family, his love of the French People and his belief in progress and reform. We who read and comment on this website know the truth and though I grieve at the horrors France inflicted on herself; it was her decision to break with the past. The attack on Christianity and the monarchy destroyed the essence of France. She would never be a great nation again. Yes, militarily under Napoleon, but what a price she paid! All the many republics and the two Napoleons would do was destroy her generations of young men. God Bless you good King Louis XVI. You never broke your faith with God,your family and your people. May you rest forever in peace.lara77https://www.blogger.com/profile/12595738597369639417noreply@blogger.com
