About this book
For centuries, the fate of Louis XVII, the son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, has remained one of history's most haunting mysteries. Official records claim the young prince perished in a dark prison cell during the French Revolution, but whispers of his survival spread across Europe. Was he smuggled away by royalists? Did he live under a new identity, hidden in plain sight?
Dozens of men stepped forward, each claiming to be the lost Dauphin, fueling speculation and intrigue. Some had convincing stories, while others were exposed as frauds. Even today, the question lingersādid the rightful heir to the French throne escape his tragic fate, or was it all an illusion?
The Lost Dauphin: The French Prince Who Survived the GuillotineāOr Did He? unravels the legend, exploring the evidence, the impostors, and the enduring mystery of the boy who was born to rule but vanished into history.
