The third son of eight children and given the title Duc de Berry, he was orphaned at the age of 12 and left to the care of his grandfather.  Married at the age of 15, he was at first distant towards his wife fearing the manipulation of Maria Teresa.  Ascending to the throne at the age of 19, his reign was plagued by financial crises as policies by Turgot, Malesherbes, and Necker all failed forcing him to convoke the Estates-General.  Forced to live in the Tuileries Palace after the storming of Versailles, his failed attempt to escape and the subsequent Prussian invasion sealed his fate.  Executed by guillotine on January 21, 1793, name this King of France.
