Question

How did LouisXVI become king?

Answer 1

He took over when his dad died.

Answer 2

Upon the death of his father, the Dauphin, who died of tuberculosis on 20 December 1765, the eleven-year-old Louis-Auguste became the new Dauphin. His mother, who had never recovered from the loss of her husband, died on 13 March 1767, also from tuberculosis. Louis-Auguste, his two brothers and two sisters were left orphaned.. The strict and conservative education he received from the duc de La Vauguyon, "gouverneur des Enfants de France" (governor of the Children of France) from 1760 until his marriage in 1770 did not prepare him for the throne he was to inherit in 1774 at the death of his grandfather.
