Intended by his older brother as little more than a French governor, Louis took his duties as King seriously, calling himself King Lodewijk I (adopting the Dutch form of his name), attempting to learn the Dutch language and trying hard to be a responsible, independent ruler of Holland.

| | | | 1778 births: Encyclopedia II - Princess Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte - Madame Royale: the princess's childhood Marie-Thérèse was the first child born to King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette.

| | | | 1778 births: Encyclopedia II - Princess Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte - The Duchesse d'Angoulême: the restoration of the monarchy Louis XVIII attempted to steer a middle-course between liberals and the ultra-monarchists, led by his younger brother Charles. He also attempted to repress the many gentlemen who claimed to be Marie-Thérèse's long-lost younger brother, Louis XVII.

The Queen was also convinced that France's future best interests lay in the Royal Family escaping Paris. They hoped to make it to the eastern city of Montmédy, which was a royalist stronghold. Their attempted midnight flight was intercepted and they were dragged back to Paris.
In autumn 1792, the entire family were imprisoned in the Temple Fortress after the monarchy was abolished. In January 1793, Marie-Thérèse's belov ...
