Detailed explanation-1: -At the time of the French Revolution, France was ruled by Louis XVI. He was the last King of France before the fall of the monarchy during the French Revolution. His indecisiveness and conservatism, especially the belief in the Divine Right of Kings made him an unpopular figure in France.
Detailed explanation-2: -Louis XVI, also called (until 1774) Louis-Auguste, duc de Berry, (born August 23, 1754, Versailles, France-died January 21, 1793, Paris), the last king of France (1774–92) in the line of Bourbon monarchs preceding the French Revolution of 1789.
Detailed explanation-3: -King Louis XVI of the Bourbon dynasty inherited the French royal power towards the end of the 18th century.
Detailed explanation-4: -France before 1789 was an absolute monarchy ruled by the Bourbons. This meant that the authority of the French Crown was not limited by any representative body, such as an elected parliament. The King was responsible only to God and answerable to no one on Earth. This system of government is also known as absolutism.
