13. Lock & Key
This fun fact is a bit of an innuendo. Okay, not a bit of an innuendo. It’s a big one (lol). King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, have gone down in history as being the last monarchs of France. King Louis XVI wasn’t the best ruler in French history, for a multitude of reasons. One of those reasons may have been his obsession with locks.
Louis would spend hours messing around with keys and locks, to the point of obsession. He probably should have been doing other things, like running a country, but we digress. The funny thing is, he should have been using his lock and key obsession in the bedroom. It took him and Marie Antoinette eight years before they conceived their first child.
