I find it hardly to swallow that any 18th-19th c. He was 4 at the time and died 6 years later. When he died in 1789 his brother Louis Charles became Dauphin. His brother Louis Joseph Xavier was the Dauphin. The phrase “I was born to be a king” rings false. Perhaps this says something about my google skills, so if anyone can find a source I'd love to see it. I have yet to find a source apart from Featherstone's New Era article.

What I'm interested in is where Featherstone's story comes from. Personally, I think that the stories of his brutal treatment have little substance to them, but they were told, and enjoyed wide curency among opponents of the French Revolution. This appears to be a story about Louis XVII. The boy said, “I cannot do what you ask for I was born to be a king.”

Why had he not submitted himself to these things-why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable they were all his. Finally, after intensive temptation, they questioned him. For over six months he had this treatment-but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by everything that could drag the soul of a man as low as one could slip. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They used vile language around him constantly. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite.

They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile thing that life could offer. They thought that inasmuch as the king’s son was heir to the throne, if they could destroy him morally, he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him. His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king. King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. Many years ago I heard the story of the son of King Louis XVI of France.
