What happend to the children of Louis XVI of France?

Answer 1

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had 4 children:

* Marie Thèrése (20 December 1778 - October 1851) * Louis Jozeph (22 October 1781 - 4 June 1789) * Louis Charles (27 March 1785 - 8 June 1795) * Sophie Beatrix Hélène (9 July 1786 - 19 June 1787) Only their oldest daughter survived the revolution and died a natural death. Louis Joseph, the original dauphin de France (crownprince) died of tuberculosis his brother Louis Charles did too (although he was in captivity and abused horribly by his keepers, so it is also very much possible that he was killed), and Sophie Beatrix died before she turned 1 of, probably, tuberculosis.

Answer 2

Louis XVI had 4 children:Marie Thérése Charlotte,and Louis Joseph Xavier Francois(he also had two other children before,a boy and a girl who died in their early years),who was supposed to be the future Louis XVII. The latter did not survive and died at the Prison du Temple in 1795.Although during the 19th century rumors suggested that the 'martyred king and queen's' son had survived and escaped from France,thanks to a DNA test made in 2004,we now know the sad truth,and the prince's heart now rests in the crypt of the Basilique Saint Denis in Paris.It is now possible to see it.Marie Thérése was exchanged with French prisoners and eventually married the duc d'Angoulême.She died in Prague at the age of 74.She remained childless,thus leaving Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette with no descendants.

Answer 3

Let's get it right for a start - Louis XVI was a man, so it's 'his' children.

Answer 4

All died during childhood except Marie Therese who lived to the age of 72 and died childless in Austria.
