Editing Louis XVII (section)

===Naming===
At his birth, Louis-Charles, a ''[[Fils de France]]'' ("Son of France"), was given the title of [[Duke of Normandy]], and, on 4 June 1789, when [[Louis Joseph, Dauphin of France]], his elder brother, died, the four-year-old became [[Dauphin of France]], a title he held until [[French Constitution of 1791|September 1791]], when France became a [[Kingdom of France (1791–92)|constitutional monarchy]]. Under the new constitution, the heir-apparent to the throne of France, formerly referred to as the "Dauphin", was restyled the ''Prince Royal''. Louis-Charles held that title until the [[Proclamation of the abolition of the monarchy|fall of the monarchy]] on 21 September 1792. At the death of his father on 21 January 1793, royalists and foreign powers intent on restoring the monarchy held him to be the new king of France, with the title of Louis XVII. From his exile in [[Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia|Hamm]], in today's [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], his uncle, the Count of Provence and future [[Louis XVIII]], who had emigrated on 21 June 1791, appointed himself [[Regent]] for the young imprisoned king.
