The French Revolution – Conversations with Charlie

Where does the kid get this stuff? As usual this conversation took place in the car, which is where the majority of our interesting conversations take place.paris france eiffel tower

Out of the blue Charlie asks “Which king was more popular, Louis the 14th, 15th, or 16th?”

Me – huh? I don’t think any of them were popular to be honest.

Charlie -How did King Louis 16th die?

Me – His head was chopped off by the guillotine.

Charlie – How did the French Revolution start?

Other questions asked were:

  • I thought the king and queen had secret escape doors. Why didn’t they escape?
  • How did they get caught?
  • How many kids did they have? Did they get killed too?
  • Why didn’t the French like the queen?
  • Who else was killed?
  • How many King Louis’s were there?
  • Why heads chopped off instead of being shot?
  • What kind of guns did they have back then?
  • Who was the King next? After the Louis 16th head’s chopped off?

Which then led to a conversation about Napoleon……
