Answer

Louis XVII was never King of France. He was the heir apparent to the French throne and held the title of Dauphin of France, but he never actually ruled the country. His father, Louis XVI, was executed during the French Revolution and Louis XVII was imprisoned with his mother, Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette was executed in 1793 and Louis XVII died in prison in 1795.
