The King can in some respects may be seen as a bad king but it depends on what view you look at. The king was trying to protect the ideals of Divine Right (the rulership of a monarchy) so his son could become king and so went against decrees like the August Decrees to save his family, however he lacked confidence in himself and barely talked to his wife Marie Antoinette. The King also made some stupid decisions like the Brunswick Manifesto which led to the emergence of Robespierre and his unavoidable execution. Perhaps not heroic, but his executioner remarked that he faced the guillotine like a man.

Louis XVI of France was a terrible leader. He starved and unfairly taxed the Third Estate, which is the lower class citizens. He also did not understand that the people were not fond of him and he did not like when the people tried to revolutionize France. When he was killed by the guillotine, it was good and bad because 40,000 people died from the next "leader", but it was what was best for France.
