The Dauphin Louis XVII: The Riddle of the Temple

By George Frederic William Lees and G. Lenôtre

Book Overview

The Dauphin Louis XVII: The Riddle of the Temple by G. Lenotre is a historical book that explores the mystery surrounding the fate of Louis XVII, the son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, who was imprisoned in the Temple during the French Revolution. The book delves into the various theories and rumors surrounding the young prince's death, including the possibility that he was smuggled out of France and lived the rest of his life in secrecy. Lenotre examines the historical evidence and presents a compelling case for the survival of Louis XVII, challenging the accepted narrative of his death in captivity. The book provides a fascinating insight into the turbulent period of the French Revolution and the fate of the royal family, as well as the enduring mystery of Louis XVII's fate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
