GROUP 3 - UNIT 2

LOUIS XVI LOST HIS HEAD

Almost all french people united in favor of the execution of the king.

At the end of last year,the national convention proclaims the republic,judge the king accusing him of treason and he is condemned to death after a vote that was approved by a vote of difference.

21ST JANUARY 1793
On the morning of January 21, 1793, Louis XVI left the Temple in a coach. At ten-fifteen in the morning, the condemned man arrived at the place where the guillotine was installed, the so-called Square of Revolution. Some guards tried to tie his hands, but Louis refused indignantly: "You will do what you have been ordered, but you will never bind me." Louis tried to escape but was arrested in the attempt by the executioner and he said: "People, I am innocent of the crimes I am accused of! May my blood never fall on France!".One or two minutes after ten twenty, he was finally guillotined.
LOUIS XVI
Decapitated already, a young member of the National Guard picked up the bloodied head and showed it to the people walking around the scaffold. Suddenly someone said "Long live the Republic!" The majority of those present began to sing "La Marseillaise," while some spectators began to dance in a circle around the scaffold.
The guards, meanwhile, placed the corpse along with the head in a wicker basket that was moved to a car. He later went to the Magdalena cemetery, where Louis XVI of Borbon, the last monarch of the Old French Regime, was buried.
The question that the French are asking: Will the republic be a better form of government for French citizens? We will continue informing.

  1. It´s quite good work but, there are some mistakes (language) and I think it could be a little bit more extensive. Your note is 9. Congrats!
