The HORRIFIC Execution Of King Louis XVI's Sister

One of the most shocking events in History was when the French King Louis XVI went to his execution in Paris under the guillotine. He was executed swiftly and then later his wife Marie Antoinette would also be executed on the guillotine. But one woman who was part of the French Royal family who was unfortunately also killed was Princess Elisabeth, the younger sister of King Louis XVI. She distanced herself at times from the extravagance of the French court, and she was also often critical of the French Queen, however during the Reign of Terror in France, Princess Elisabeth was arrested.
Elisabeth was seen as a victim because of the fact she was just the King's sister. Many believe that she was unfairly sentenced to death, and because of this her execution was seen as something which could have done damage to the reputation of Robespierre and The Terror. Like her brother she was quickly strapped to a board under the guillotine, before the blade was released.

This particular execution really struck me as sad. Right up there with the treatment of the royal children.

[@fernfreeman1729]

The Law of Suspects had been initiated in September 1793 precisely to be able to arrest people like her and madame du Barry, who had done nothing wrong. Wrong place, wrong time.

She should have emigrated when she had the opportunity, possibly not fully appreciating what was about to happen in France. The revolutionaries were out of control. A good video 👍

How Very Sad. She was so kind, comforting the others.💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Elizabeth should done what the others commented. Escaped Paris when she had the chance.

It is unfortunate that Madame Elizabeth began to forget, and almost never mentioned in films and series :(

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Interesting video and if what they say is true about her a great miscarriage of justice.

Madame Elisabeth has been declared a Servant of God - due to her death at the hands of the avowed enemies of God and Religion, and'her pius character and life - and might become recognised as a canonised saint.

This is truly a very sad story😢

[@renee1961]

Good day, and again, Thank You for every video you post. I Appreciate All of the Hard Work, Research, and Time that goes into every video, on each of your channels! Each channel is Excellent, Well Done, and Very Informative!

[@renee1961]

The Artwork is Amazing, So Beautiful!

[@lucaspottier6397]

She is my favorite historical character and my glad non-French people talks about her because she isn't very famous in France

[@Nansen1981]

Thanks for another informative video, keep up the good work.

Poor thing!

[@rogersheddy6414]

I noticed that her eye color is not consistent from portrait to portrait. There were at least three different very different eye colors used in her portrait that they have used in this video.

[@3rdsmite766]

In what way was she brutally executed? can you name a more humane way of killing than the guillotine??

[@AvyScottandFlower]

The idea of "marriage into royalty" seems so weird to us today..

[@larrywalker6105]

Her execution lead up to the nail in the coffin for Robisterre only her didn't

[@Polecatmtn]

Sad.

[@williewonka6694]

Only one of the tens of thousands swept up in the reign of terror. Most such victims were and are now nameless.
