Question

What happened to the children of Louis XVI and Maria Antionette after their death?

Answer 1

Of the four, three of them died in childhood, including the Dauphin (although there was some suspicion that reports of his death were false.)

The only surviving child, Marie-Therese-Charlotte, was about 15 when her mother was beheaded. (For a long time, she didn't know what happened to her mother -- all they told her was that she was taken away for trial.).  After the Reign of Terror, she was allowed to emigrate to Vienna under the protection of her cousin, Francis II. She later went on to a Latvian province and connected with her uncle. In 1799, she married her cousin, Louis Antoine, and the whole family moved to England.

Her uncle, Louis XVIII, was restored to the French monarchy after Napoleon's defeat in 1814, and the family moved back to France.  However, he died in 1824 without issue, and his younger brother, Charles X (Louis-Antoine's father), became king, which put Marie-Therese in the odd position of being the wife of the heir, or Madame le Dauphine. However, the 1830 uprising ended with Charles' abdication and the ascension of Louis-Phillippe as king.  Marie-Therese joined her family in exile again, as they moved back to England.

Three years later, they moved to Prague, and Charles died in 1836. Her husband died in 1844, and she died in 1851 of pneumonia, and is buried in a monastery in Slovenia.  Her tombstone says she was Dowager Queen of France -- which she was, for about 20 minutes, after Charles X abdicated.  She and Louis-Antoine had no children.

Answer 2

Louis XVI and Maria Antionette had four children, however, two died before the French Revolution. The remaining two were Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte (sole survivor of the French Revolution) and Louis-Charles (died in prision during the French Revolution).

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.

Answer 3

All of their children died.
