Adorable child and what a difference from 15 to 20! He really matured quickly. I'm thinking he was that handsome in reality and that the picture of him as dauphin and as a young king is not idealized. And I agree with the original poster that it's sad to look at portraits of Louis in later life. He was much changed.
Courteous comments are welcome. If a comment is not published, it may be due to a technical error. At any rate, do not take offense; it is nothing personal. Slanderous comments will not be published. Anonymity may be tolerated, but politeness is required.
I would like to respond to every comment but my schedule renders it impossible to do so. Please know that I appreciate those who take the time to share their thoughts.
