In whose eyes did Louis XVII become king after his father's execution?

  • Republicans

  • the Convention

  • Royalists

  • Jacobins

Answer

Royalists saw Louis XVII as the legitimate king of France after his father's execution. This was because they believed that Louis XVI had been wrongfully executed and that his son should therefore inherit the throne. The Royalists opposed the French Revolution and the government of the First French Republic, and they fought to restore the monarchy.
