Louis XVI was actually far better than most of the kings before him. For one he was never suppose to be king but his uncle died and later his brother making him heir. When he was a prince, there was a firework for his birthday that accidentally caused a fire and not only did he apologize (which was unthinkable at the time) he also compensated the victims out of his own pockets. He did his best at economic reform in a time were dept from the 7 years war and american revolution pilled on to 3 consecutive years of bad harvest. He pushed to diminish his personal power and gave a voice to the people by summoning the general estates (something which hadn't been done in centuries). And he was the first noble in Europe to raise his children personally. The reason for his 'failures' were mostly due to his gentle personality and nativity. Firstly, his son died during the general estates, which caused people to think he didn't really care because he was acting distant and was absent a few times. Second, when advised to massacre the national assembly he refused (something any of his ancestors would have done in a heartbeat), and continued to refuse any use of force until the Bastille. Despite the fact he had been pushing for 'democratic' reform, the sudden loss of power startled him and pressure from his entourage made him limit the national assembly's action. His attempt at fleeing was mostly caused due to insistence from his wife (with whom he actually had a great relationship), most of his ancestors would have simply sent his children and wife temporarily to Austria but he didn't want to be separated from his family. The reason, Louis XVI was killed was mostly spontaneous anger, the people blamed him for everything and acted with a mob mentality. But for a hundred years after that people regretted the decision. While most people think the french people suddenly became republican over night, it is wrong. Until the late 19th century, the great majority of the french population were royalists and the 'royalist party' actually won elections, holding a majority of seats for most of the 19th century (in the 3rd Republic). The change of mindset happened over several decades and was caused mainly by the 'Jules Ferry Laws' which made school free and mandatory (education at the time was basically 60% indoctrination) and partially rewrote the revolution to demonize the royalty. All in all, the story of Louis XVI is tragic and he was disgraced posthumously in order to convert the population to republicanism. To this day, the french primary (8-12 yo) education program teaches students Louis XVI and the royals were tyrants hording food and wealth, thought in high school they do nuance it(I know because, as a Frenchman, I learnt that). If you want to know more I recommend you watch: secrets d'histoire Louis XVI.
There’s a difference between a good man who is a bad leader and a bad man who is a tyrant. Louis was the former, by far. He made the wrong choice, but that by no means labels him as a villain. In all honesty, I’d say he got the short end of the stick from the world.
While that may be true, I'd still say that, for a HUGE majority of his life, he still had it better than most. Compare the moments of suffering he went through to the LIFETIME of starvation his people suffered from his disastrous leadership. I'm not condoning violence by any means but on the scale of suffering he had it far from the worst
@@ajduong nope, France suffered from harsh winter for several years in a row that made harvesting food difficult. Thats why people starved, it wasnt his fault.
Bad weather lead to famine. The king could do nothing to change that, and the famine continued far after it's death. Revolutionaries didn't managed to solve the problem neither. People killed him because they were angry. They seeked people to blame, and the king was there, to weak (or nice) to strike first. I love our Republic, but I have to recognize that our anti-monarchy propaganda was (is) excessively strong. Our republic is build on the blood on innocents people. I want to keep that house, but I know what was the real cost. Killing everyone wasn't the right answer. Damn, many other countries managed to remove their monarchy without killing everyone. We, we have created a blood bath in the process.
@AR - 08CS - Robert H Lagerquist Sr PS (1473) Louis actually did the best he could. He was a libertarian and cut taxes and deregulated the economy. His fatal mistake was supporting the American colonists, causing France's debt. The reality is that Robespierre was a blood thirsty tyrant who took advantage of a bad situation. The French should hang their heads in shame over the revolution, not celebrate it.
Except this was not what he was condemned for but for treason. In fact the revolution did not even intend to end the monarchy in the beggining. Had he not tried to escape and had his wife not been accused of writing letters to the Austrian monarchy by giving military information to the Austrians, he would not have been executed.
1:10 “Gentlemen, I am innocent of which I am accused-“ 1:17 “Wait, they can’t hear me! Hang on, I haven’t finished yet! Wait! DUDE!” 1:47 *gets beheaded by the guillotine* “.................…………uncool”
Appareantly he was just a figurehead, he had no idea what to do and did even less... The aristocrats were to blame as they did all they could to keep their positions. At least thats what I came to believe after reading about it now.
xinerg If you think the nobility and the aristocracy are to blame for the revolution, then you are an idiot. The villains in all of this were the satanic Jacobins.
Truly Louis's fate is a tragedy : he was an awful leader, indecisive, unsure of everything but at the same time he truly cared for his people, and never wanted to be a tyrant (he fled Paris by fear, after losing Mirabeau, who was his secret confident at the chambre of the deputees and what happened to Le Palais des Tuileries in 1792). He was just....very bad at his job.
@@GustavoHenrique-dp7so By most accounts Louis XVI was a good man and a terrible ruler. The problems that led to the revolution were a result of the policies of his predecessors and he was simply not a capable enough ruler to reverse the damage done before it was too late. The situation that he was in is comparable to someone who is tasked with defusing a ticking time bomb while having no experience or ability in bomb disposal, it's going to get messy.
St Germain's line ( Jacques de Molay, you've been avenged) is accurate. A man in the crowd alledgedly screamed that when the guillotine's blade fell on the king's neck. Also, Arno makes the worst use of a polearm I've ever seen. As a Swiss, I would've sued Ubisoft for that cultural appropriation with the halberd if I weren't so reasonable.
I like how it's just about historically accurate. He thought he was going to get the royal carriage to the execution but they shoved them inside of a tiny s***** car instead and right as he was giving his final words the drums were beating to drown him out
Funny thing was his speech did get cut off by the drums, Idk if they wanted to prevent the kings ideals to be spread, or they were too radical which is likely.
1:10 Je meurs innocent , messieurs, je suis innocent de tout ce dont on m’incube 1:17 Je souhaite que mon sang puisse cimenter le bonheur des Français !

Jacen crumbo I personally loved this game. Sure, it didn’t have an assassin like Ezio, but the free roam and customization made the multiplayer really fun and addictive
Jacen crumbo Yeah, and they made Robespierre the bad guy. Well, the game has quite a few redeeming qualities. It's very polarising. It certainly had potential.
No, the king loved his wife. Their relationship was only strengthened by their final desperate years. The king was a thoroughly decent human being but never liked being king and he didn't have the killer instincts necessary to handle the awful situation he inherited. He went to the scaffold with courage - like a king. His attempted speech was drowned out by drummers but he did not cower as shown.
Looking back at this moment when I heard him say Jacques de Molay is avenged, I honestly thought… “About Four Centuries late don’t you think?” But then again, I guess Jacques de Molay could have also cursed all those Royal Family that would rule after the Capetian Dynasty had died out.
This is what happens when you are too kind and refuse to kill traitors. If only Louis XVI wasn't so merciful, he would have easily destroyed the bourgeois revolution.

He made poor decisions but the french made him look like a horrible person who killed people with no care but in reality he was not a villian i feel bad for the man he just made poor decisions because he was young not really his fault
Fun Fact in the cahier de doléance louis XVI was neer mention, People adored him, and thought he was just blinded by his advisors who would hide the truth from him. Louis XVI was aware of the need for change and reform of the kingdom but he was too slow and the nobility was inflexible to his demands. The opinion of the French will change when he flees to Varenne where they feel betrayed, and even after his execution is the work of an extremist mountaineer. The people he and the Girondins were widely opposed to his death, hence the period of "Terror" which followed.
Its not that they are anti chatolic, the order lived through many different eras and the French Revolution was heavily marked by laicism, the other guy was a Templar. Church had become corrupt and too powerful by that point, so it was everyones interest that their power should be decreased
Jacques De Molay (1314): "Pope Clement, hear me! Before this year is out, you will answer for your crimes before God almighty. And you, King Philip, no punishment is too heinous for the great evil you have inflicted upon the Temple. I curse you! Curse you to the thirteenth generation of your blood! You shall be cursed!" King Louis (1793): found guilty of high treason, and executed by guillotine on 21 January 1793 So that's the curse for you King phillip 30 Generation of your blood

Se tivessem apenas limitado os poderes do rei ao invés de assassinalo, a França estaria muito melhor hoje em dia.
He made poor decisions but the french made him look like a horrible person who killed people with no care but in reality he was not a villian i feel bad for the man he just made poor decisions because he was young not really his fault
Moral of the the story: don’t fall in love.
Fun Fact in the cahier de doléance louis XVI was neer mention, People adored him, and thought he was just blinded by his advisors who would hide the truth from him. Louis XVI was aware of the need for change and reform of the kingdom but he was too slow and the nobility was inflexible to his demands. The opinion of the French will change when he flees to Varenne where they feel betrayed, and even after his execution is the work of an extremist mountaineer. The people he and the Girondins were widely opposed to his death, hence the period of "Terror" which followed.
Jacques de Molay (you are avenged)!
“Good day. Kill him”

Why assasin is anticatholic?
Its not that they are anti chatolic, the order lived through many different eras and the French Revolution was heavily marked by laicism, the other guy was a Templar. Church had become corrupt and too powerful by that point, so it was everyones interest that their power should be decreased

Jacques De Molay (1314): "Pope Clement, hear me! Before this year is out, you will answer for your crimes before God almighty. And you, King Philip, no punishment is too heinous for the great evil you have inflicted upon the Temple. I curse you! Curse you to the thirteenth generation of your blood! You shall be cursed!"
King Louis (1793): found guilty of high treason, and executed by guillotine on 21 January 1793
So that's the curse for you King phillip 30 Generation of your blood
