Question

Which rule come to th France in 1774

Answer 1

Louis XVI of Bourbon family, ascended the throne of France in 1774.

Explanation:

• Louis XVI, the last king of France (1774–92) in the line of Bourbon monarchs preceding the French Revolution of 1789.

• Louis was the third son of the dauphin Louis and his consort Maria Josepha of Saxony.

• The first part of his reign was marked by attempts to reform the French government in accordance with Enlightenment ideas. These included efforts to abolish serfdom, remove the taille (land tax) and the corvée (labor tax), and increase tolerance toward non-Catholics as well as abolish the death penalty for deserters.

• Louis's indecisiveness and conservatism led some elements of the people of France to view him as a symbol of the perceived tyranny of the Ancien Régime, and his popularity deteriorated progressively.

• He was referred to as Citizen Louis Capet during the four months just before he was executed by guillotine.
