King Louis XVI was nicknamed Louis Capet as a reference to his ancestral lineage, specifically the Capetian dynasty from which he descended. The name "Capet" comes from Hugh Capet, the founder of the dynasty in the late 10th century. This nickname was often used by revolutionaries during the French Revolution to emphasize his connection to the monarchy and to symbolize their rejection of royal authority. It also served to dehumanize him, reducing him to a historical figure rather than acknowledging him as a reigning king.
