Execution of Louis XVI
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The death of Louis XVI, king of France"
after a French engraving of 1798.
The execution of Louis XVI by means of the guillotine took place on the 21st of January 1793 on the Place de la Révolution ("Revolution Square", formerly Place Louis XV, and renamed Place de la Concorde in 1795) in Paris. It was a major event of the French Revolution. After the events of the 10 August 1792, which saw the fall of the monarchy after the Parisians' attack on the Tuileries, Louis was arrested, interned in the Temple prison with his family, tried for high treason before the National Convention and condemned to death by a slight majority. His execution made him the first victim of the Reign of Terror; his wife Marie Antoinette was guillotined on 16 October the same year.
King Louis XVI had been loved by his people, but his hostility towards the National Assembly had aroused discontent with his rule. The last nail in his coffin was an attempt to escape from France and gather support for the re-establishment of the old regime, an event duly named "the king's flight". He was caught before he and his family crossed the border and public opinion began to sway against him.

[edit] Journey from the Temple prison to the Place de la Révolution
Louis XVI wakes at 5 o'clock and after being helped to dress by his valet Cléry goes to meet with the non-juring Irish priest Father Henry Essex Edgeworth de Firmont, makes his confession, hears his last Mass, served by Cléry, and receives Communion. The Mass requisites have been provided by special direction of the authorities. On Fr Edgeworth's advice, he avoids a last farewell scene with his family. At 7 o'clock he confides his last wishes to the priest: his seal is to go to the Dauphin and his wedding ring to the Queen. After receiving the priest's blessing, he goes to meet Antoine Joseph Santerre, the commander of the guard. A green carriage is waiting in the second court. He seats himself in it with the priest, with two militiamen sitting opposite. The carriage leaves the Temple at approximately 9 o'clock.
For more than an hour the carriage, preceded by drums and escorted by a cavalry troop with drawn sabres, makes its way along a route lined with several ranks of soldiers of the National Guard and sans-culottes.
In the neighbourhood of the present rue de Cléry Baron Batz, a supporter of the royal family who had financed the flight to Varennes, has summoned 300 royalists to enable the king's escape. Louis was to have been hidden in a house in the rue de Cléry belonging to the Count of Marsan. Baron Natz leaps forward: "Follow me, my friends, let us save the King!". But his associates have been denounced and only a few have been able to turn up. Three of these are killed, but Baron Batz manages to escape.
At 10 0'clock the carriage arrives at Revolution Square and proceeds to a space, surrounded by guns and drums and a crowd carrying pikes and bayonets, which has been kept free at the foot of the scaffold.
