Answer 1

Oui, oui, zhat wuld be me, non ! Ok really, I am a descendant of King Louis XVI even though im a white South African citizen. I have roots going back to the French Revolution, through my moms great great grandmother who was a arastocrat. My moms maiden name was du Toit and my granmothers maiden name was Terreblanche. The Terreblanches who were blue-blooded and connected to King Louis XVI fled with the French Hugenotes in 1688 to South Africa because they were Protestants and didnt want to convert their religion. My great greatgrandmother was one of those Frenh Hugenotes who were related to King Louis XVI. I know its very far but im family !

Answer 2

They had four children, one of who survived to adulthood, Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France. She had no children so there are no living descendant of Louis XVI and Marie Antioinette. She was 14 when her father and then mother were executed, she was imprisoned until the end of the Reign of Terror when she moved to Vienna where her uncle lived.

Answer 3

yes three

Louis XVII of France, also Louis VI of Navarre (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795), from birth to 1789 known as Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy; then from 1789 to 1791 as Louis-Charles, Dauphin of Viennois; and from 1791 to 1793 as Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France, was the son of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette of Austria. From his father's death in 1793 to his own death in 1795, he was considered King of France and Navarre by French royalists.

On the night of July 3, 1793, commissioners arrived at Temple Prison and went to the royal family's cell with instructions to separate Marie Antoinette's son from the rest of his family. He had been proclaimed Louis XVII by exiled royalists after his father's death. The republican government had therefore decided to imprison the eight-year-old child in solitary confinement. Louis flung himself into his mother's arms crying hysterically, and Marie Antoinette shielded him with her body, refusing to give him up. When the commissioners threatened to kill her if she did not hand the child over, she still refused to move. It was only when they threatened to kill her daughter, Marie Thérèse, and then her, that she came to realise how hopeless the situation was. Two hours after the commissioners had entered her room, the former Queen relinquished her son to them. Louis was carried away screaming and crying, while begging his mother to save him.

This was done to dissuade any monarchist or royalist bids to free him and re-establish the French monarchy. He remained imprisoned alone, a floor below his sister Marie-Thérèse, until his death in June 1795. He was only ten years old. As a part of his republican re-education, his jailers forced him to drink large quanities of alcohol between severe beatings and torture, and was made to sing "La Marseillaise" while wearing the bonnet of a sansculotte. His captors referred to him by the family name "Capet," after Hugh Capet, the original founder of the royal dynasty. This use of a surname was a deliberate insult, since royalty do not normally use surnames.

Louis-Charles was set to work as a cobbler's assistant within the prison and taught to curse his parents. He had been told that he had fallen from favor of his parents who still lived, but no longer wanted him. He was officially reported to have died in the prison from what is today recognised as [[tuberculosis], sometimes called consumption]. Reportedly, his body was ravaged by tumors and scabies. He was reported to have been extremely thin and boney from malnutrition when examined after his death. An autopsy was carried out at the prison and, following a tradition of preserving royal hearts, his heart was smuggled out and preserved by the examining physician, Philippe-Jean Pelletan. Louis-Charles's body was buried in a mass grave. Dr. Pelletan was also shocked at all the scars from tortures, such as whipping, all over the front and back of his torso as well as his arms, legs, and feet.

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France, Duchess of Angoulême and Dauphine of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child of King Louis XVI of France and his Queen, Marie Antoinette of Austria. As the wife of the eldest surviving son of Charles X, she is considered by some to have been Queen of France for the 20 minutes between her father-in-law's signing of the instrument of abdication and her husband's own signing of the document

The Royal Family lived in Edinburgh until 1833 when King Charles chose to move to Prague as a guest of the Austrian Emperor. They moved into the opulent luxury of Schloss-Hradschin. Marie-Thérèse devotedly nursed her uncle Charles through his last illness in 1836, when he died of cholera. By that time they had left Prague and moved to the estate of Count Coronini near Gorica, Slovenia (now Gorizia, Italy[citation needed]). Like her deceased uncle, Marie-Thérèse remained a devout and sincere Roman Catholic.

Marie-Thérèse's husband died in 1844 and he was buried next to his father. Marie-Thérèse then moved to a mansion called Frohsdorf, just outside Vienna. She spent her days walking, reading, praying and sewing. The children of Marie-Thérèse's murdered cousin, Ferdinand, came to live with her – including the Bourbon claimant to the throne, the Comte de Chambord. In 1848 France became a republic, after Louis-Philippe's reign ended in another revolution.

She died on 19 October 1851, three days after the fifty-eighth anniversary of her mother's execution. The cause of death was pneumonia. In her will, Marie-Thérèse wrote:

"Thank all Frenchmen who have remained attached to my family and to me, for the proofs of devotion that they have given us and for the sufferings they have endured for our sakes. I pray God to shower his blessings upon France that I have always loved, even in the time of my bitterest afflictions."

She is buried in the Franciscan monastery of Kostanjevica, Slovenia, together with King Charles X; her husband, the Duc d'Angoulême; and her nephew, the Comte de Chambord, who was the last member of the senior line of French Bourbons, as well as his wife, the Archduchess Marie-Thérèse of Austria-Este, daughter of Duke Francis IV of Modena and Princess Maria Beatrice of Savoy, and her niece, Louise, Duchess of Parma. A court minister to King Charles X, Louis Jean Casimir, is also buried there. On her gravestone, Marie-Thérèse's title is listed as Queen Dowager of France, this is because her husband was King Louis XIX of France for about twenty minutes.

Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France (July 9, 1786 - June 19, 1787) was the youngest daughter of Louis XVI of France and his Queen consort, Marie Antoinette. The girl was named for one of her father's sisters, who had died a few years before the baby's birth.

Her death was a cause for much sorrow on the part of both of her parents. When Marie Antoinette's foster brother attempted to console her with the fact that given Sophie's tender age, Marie Antoinette must not have grown overly attached to her, the bereaved mother said only, "Don't forget that she would have been my friend," a reference to her words after the birth of Sophie's older sister, Marie-Thérèse, in 1778.

Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois, Dauphin of France (October 22, 1781–June 4, 1789) was the second child and first son of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette of Austria. As the heir apparent to the French throne, he was called the Dauphin. A sweet-natured child, Louis-Joseph died at the age of seven of what was then known as "consumption" (tuberculosis). On his death the title of Dauphin passed to his younger brother Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy (1785–1795), who would survive his father and die in prison at the age of ten.

Answer 4

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had four children:

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, Madame Royale (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851);

Louis-Joseph-Xavier-François (22 October 1781 – 4 June 1789);

Louis-Charles (the future titular King Louis XVII of France) (27 March 1785 – 8 June 1795);

Sophie-Hélène-Béatrix (9 July 1786 – 19 June 1787)

Two children died early, only the first and third surviving to and after the Revolution.

Louis XVI's and Marie Antoinette's remaining son, now Louis XVII, was kept in a dark filthy cell until he died of tuberculosis in 1795.  In future years, many men came forward claiming to be the long-lost prince.  In April 2000 DNA experts announced that tests done on the heart of the boy who died in prison proved that he was Marie Antoinette's son.

Marie Antoinette's daughter, Madame Royale, survived the Revolution.  She became the Duchesse d'Angouleme and lived to see the reigns of her uncles Louis XVIII and Charles X.  She had no children.

Answer 5

They had 4 children. 2 sons and two daughters.

The youngest daughter, Marie-Sophie Béatrice died in infancy.

The eldest son, Louis le Dauphin, died in 1789, aged 8 or 9.

The second son, Louis Charles, lived 1785-1795 and died aged 10 in the Temple prison. Despite legends of his having escaped, the heart of the Temple boy has been preserved and DNA analysed, proving this child was indeed the son of Marie Antoinette, and so died too young to have issue.,

Only the eldest daughter, Marie Thérèse or Madame Royale, lived into adulthood. Apparently, her husband, the duke of Angoulême, was impotent. At any rate, the marriage remained childless, and no b******s are known.

There are no living descendants of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

Answer 6

Together they had four children:

Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was allowed to leave France and taken to Vienna, where her cousin ruled as Emperor Francis II after the execution of her parents. Marie-Thérèse later left Vienna and moved to Mittau, Courland, where her father's eldest surviving brother, Louis-Stanislas, Comte de Provence, lived as a guest of Czar Paul I of Russia.

Louis-Joseph-Xavier-François (22 October 1781 – 4 June 1789) ) was the second child and first son of King Louis XVI of France and Marie Antoinette of Austria. As the heir apparent to the French throne, he was called the Dauphin. A sweet-natured child, Louis-Joseph died at the age of seven of what was then known as "consumption" (tuberculosis).

Louis-Charles (the future titular King Louis XVII of France) (27 March 1785 – 8 June 1795). He remained imprisoned alone until his death in June 1795. As a part of his republican re-education, his jailers forced him to drink large quanities of alcohol between severe beatings and torture. Louis-Charles was set to work as a cobbler's assistant within the prison and was officially reported to have died in the prison from tuberculosis (consumption) on  8 June 1795 at age 10. However, some believed his life was speared and he was secretly set free and known as the "Lost Dauphin."

Sophie-Hélène-Béatrix (9 July 1786 – 19 June 1787) died at the age of 1.

There are no living descendants of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. However, the French royal family of today are distant relatives of Lous XVI. Currently Prince Charles-Philippe Marie Louis d'Orléans, born in Paris, France on March 3, 1973 is the pretender to the French throne. A Pretender is a claimant to an abolished throne or to a throne already occupied by somebody else.

Answer 7

Attention: Bradley Summers

I am of French Ancestry, too. We are from Alsace-Lorraine and Brittany.  My family has a LONG DRAWN OUT struggle with HEMOPHILIA. Does this make me a Royal? Uh....NO!

As for Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI; all direct decendants are DECEASED(no surviving children or "distant" offspring).

Answer 8

I believe they have 3 children: a boy (who was taken care by the new government and became Louis XVII for a brief moment - also known as the lost king or something), a girl (name Marie Therese, I believe, after Antoinette's mom) and a boy (If I'm not mistaken, name Louis Charles).
