Louis XVI (the sixteenth / seize)
Louis XVI, who was beheaded along with his son, the [presumptive] Louis XVII. When the monarchy was restored, Louis XVIII became king.
King Louis was bound to the Ancient Regime which had three Estates within the Estates General. The First Estate was the Catholic Clergy, the Second Estate was the Nobles and the Third Estate was everyone else.
Louis XVI was not a good leader and felt it was better not to lose the favor of the two smaller Estates.

As a result, the Third Estate saw they could not reason with the king and this opened the path to revolution.
