I've read about the french revolution a fair bit. Louis XVI was a pretty lenient king in comparison to his predecessors and I think that's what makes the revolution more angering to me. A lot of people unfairly portray the French royalty as decadent which I don't think is entirely accurate for Louis XVI, if anything things seemed to be heading the way of more freedom. If it weren't for the revolutionaries France probably could've had an England situation going on.
