During the 1793 to 1794 reign of terror in the country some 40,000 died on the guillotine, of whom 3,000 in Paris...This video shows only 26 on April 13, 1794
After the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland the chief of clan Fraser was condemned to die by beheading. They built a gantry for people to watch the act but just as the axe was about to fall the gantry collapsed sending spectators falling to the ground, the Chief died laughing and this is where the phrase comes ‘ laughing your head off’
Damon iT were almost all normal civilians robespierre killed everybody who was against him until hè was executed himself the nobles almost all fled to austria and england so the werent hurt
Lucille didn't deserve that!I'm not saying others did but this was some kind of war which the two sides kill each other but she really didn't deserve that!she only defended her husband!
She didn't deserve it, but it wasn't about fairness, it was about efficiency and making examples. Lucile, just like Françoise, were treated for what they were in the eyes of the ones who eliminated their husbands: staunch supporters that needed to join their leaders in death.
@@rlm2933 The swept up a lot of innocents with the guilty, executing house servants along with the aristocracy. After a short while it became internecine as groups denounced each other in turn. Same thing occurred in Russia, China and Cambodia. Any nation that attempts to transition from autocracy to republic overnight invariably descends into mass bloodshed.
Dunno... if that were me about to ascend the ladder to the guillotine, you'd actually find me lying dead about 15 feet from the bottom, a lead ball shot into me arse, where I was running away. The Sheep Factor always amazes me about people...
You just would be dead either way. The only thing you would choose is how: decapitated or skewered to death by bayonets or just shot dead by an arquebus. End result is the exact same: you're dead.
Execution of Lucile Desmoulins and Françoise Hébert, the wives of two very prominent revolutionary activists who were disposed of by Robespierre. Since they were actively supporting their husbands, the court also sentenced them to death so as to completely prevent any further action from them in the future after the death of their husbands. The Revoultionary Court wasn't known for being particularly lenient on women (see what happened to the innocent princess of Lamballe).
Yes they were Mrs. Desmoulins and Mrs. Hebert died together, for supporting their husbands and they became friends and comforted each other in their last days on earth....Ironically, the two women's husbands were bitter political enemies and they hated each other.....Hebert died with 18 of his friends on the guillotine March 23, 1794....and Desmoulins died with 14 of his friends (including Georges Jacques Danton) on April 5, 1794....Thats 12 days and 8 days before their wives respectively joined them in the afterlife
Thank you for giving the detail. I knew it was Lucile Desmoulins, but not much beyond that. This was one of the more memorable/trenchant scenes in the mini-series when you realized that Robespierre had become a vengeful monster despite all his fine words and delicate manners.
As an Aristocrat himself it was very natural for him to say that. Churchill had only limited patience with any ideas about equal rights for equal people.
The French Revolution was one of the most hideous and barbaric bits of human history. Thousands were murdered for no reason other than their social status. Class warfare is absolutely barbaric when it gets started. We are on the verge of it here.
That's what must have drawn the blood thirsty crowds. When they finally had enough of the colour and stench they made the best pale coloured ,perfumes after that!
Albert Pierpoint would not have permitted the beheaded corpses to be jumbled together like that. He insisted on coffins and identification for each of his victims because he believed that they'd atoned for their sins by dying and that their remains should be treated with gentle dignity and given a proper burial or cremation. At least in Germany, after the condemned were dispatched on the fallbeil, they were given coffins and the severed head placed between the legs.
I read an interesting article about the French Revolution. The author claimed that the guillotine of political prisoners only went on for so long because the prisoners met their end stoically. If there had been more resistance, the terror would have ended sooner.
Look at what happened in the Vendée region. The Terror happened because the Republican despotes had absolute, unchallenged, power in France, and it went on regardless of the victims' complience. In fact those who rebelled (such as the Vendeeans aforementioned) were met with an even greater repression.
@@lacampanella2406 Years after the Revolution people say you can still smell the faint scent of blood from the 40,000 people who were executed in Place de la Concorde in Paris.
The problem with killing the King is that you can become the next King, or in Bonaparte's case Emperor, power has to be transferred from monarchy to republic/democracy in steps,
We learned from an German foreign exchange teacher in high school history that some people did fight to keep their heads out of the guillotine and kicked the soldiers. What have you got to lose?
There is at least one collection of heads from the French Revolution in the US. Might well be more. It must be getting troubling to hold onto them what with modern genetics and all.
@Sue Taft it happened to us Sikhs in 1984. The Hindus led by Rajiv Gandhi, another (of Nehru’s blood-his bastard son) a film actor, Amitab Bachman And several of his (Rajiv Gandhi’s) friends class-fellows (who were upgraded into politicians made to hold high positions). For decades on end Rajiv/Amitabh bachan along with their wives remained favorites of ruling (upper caste) class Hindus for the manner in which they got Sikhs massacred.

Nice joke, you half-wit wannabe comic.
It was cutting edge...
The film they used was hand carved from the finest oak
true
So, in this movie, what happens when the director yells “cut”?
The same in a Soap Opera......Director yells DUMB LOOK..........CUT.....
I look very much foward to the Director's cut.

I see what you did there.
@@michaelnash1067 LOL
That poor guy sweeping up the blood and stuff off the floor must have REEEEAAALLY pissed off the First Sergeant.
Good point, wonder what he did to piss him off? :)
Do better, if you like this job.
Yes, because you can stand in front of animal blood but not infront of human blood as that ironous smell will push everything out of your guts...

They won't be heading home after that.

excellent quality for 1794.
most cell phones today are not this good.
The old way to deal with blood is sawdust - there would have been a lot of sawdust on the deck else it would have been impossible to walk on.
they would have been listening to Couperin too !! hahhaha
They didn't just kill adults, they killed children too. The French went blood thirsty during this time and a lot of innocent people died for nothing.
The french revolution really said
"You look sus"
"Go to the guillotine!"
Beat my meat.

Lucille didn't deserve that!I'm not saying others did but this was some kind of war which the two sides kill each other but she really didn't deserve that!she only defended her husband!
Ikr! ;;----;;
Lucile and Camille deserved better
?
For Lucille and Camille, yes, completely, but for Danton no.. He was a complete corrupt man
She didn't deserve it, but it wasn't about fairness, it was about efficiency and making examples.
Lucile, just like Françoise, were treated for what they were in the eyes of the ones who eliminated their husbands: staunch supporters that needed to join their leaders in death.
must be the worst fear standing in that line dam
It will happen again during the anti christs seven year tribulation. When no one knows but it seems it is fast approaching.
The films over 200 years old and still good quality

No, it wasn't. It was murder. They killed little children too.

If they were really mad at you, they tied you down face up . . .
Personally, that's how I'd want to do it.
That was the Nazi's in WWII.
They did that to French resistance fighters.

Madame de Lamballe was lynched, not executed. The "tribunal" was a sham and wasn't recognised by the revolutionary government.
True gender equality in action
It that time the govt. Of France was stupid and they must be
executed like this, because they gave execution the poor innocent people . Worst pics
"The only thing the French Revolution produced was headless corpses...". Winston Churchill. Or something like that.
As an Aristocrat himself it was very natural for him to say that. Churchill had only limited patience with any ideas about equal rights for equal people.
They killed the best. And gave birth to the napoleoinic wars , which costed millions of lives and 10 years of wars in Europe.
"..just a little off the top, s'il vous plait.."

Always wondered why the French seem so proud of their Revolution

@M W communism is when le miserables
even Robespierre was guillotined ,the man who ordered these executions
Could you imagine the smell in the air of all the blood?
Yeh
That's what must have drawn the blood thirsty crowds.

And urine and feces

Albert Pierpoint just didn’t have such a conveyor
How I wish we could deal with every single corrupt Australian politician this way.
LNP circus 🎪
Yep, the people are fighting back now at least
that gasp at the end-
I never knew they had colour film in those days
What ?
And electronic watches too (part 1).
The sad thing about being beheaded is the fact that you get shorter...
You do lose weight, though.
The smell got so bad (of old blood) that the locals complained. They had to shift the 'ol choppy chop machine several times.
The video is of good quality for its age
ما أسم الفلم
The Froggies were brutal back then.
If in France and you want to get a haircut watch out you dont say " a little off the top "
humans have always been brutal.

Wow I didn't know they had video footage from so much far back in time 😮
Princess Pai no hun that’s from the 1989 movie French Revolution
Princess Pai Well, the Kodak video camera had color movies for special super juicy stuff
What movie is this anyway?
Thanks for sharing my friend!
I must say that this comment thread is enjoyable. If people actually read books on history, just imagine!
A lot of the time they would put straw down on the floor to soak up the blood during executions.
Really? 😯😱🥵
Actually they used bounty paper towers.

It was hard to keep your head about you in those days....literally.
So they have video recorder in 1794?
When you call Russian barbarians, remember the French Revolution and the innocently murdered Marie Antoinette and her friends.
Libertè, egalitè, fraternitè ... et beaucoup de sang
When you don’t know what’s going on in the scene “Guillotined people Paris”
Actual footage. Shot on 1791 Suzuki 16mm camera.
The executioner Sanson looked like sad while doing these. I wonder why 🤔🤔
any normal sane person would take no joy in being a executioner ..knowing you destroyed a family and made a child a orphan..
If I remember right, he and Camille (sp?) had been childhood friends.
Stupid question time: why are these people WILLINGLY walking to their deaths? You'd think they'd try to put up some kind of fight?
It's more being resigned to their fates.
Once you're arrested and convicted, fighting your execution is just empty bravado.
Fine; at least I'd take some of them with me.
Damn right! You can't pull off anything just standing there.
