Interesting that various viewers mentioned her struggle. Some historians actually have studied why more aristocrats did not struggle when they were lead to their deaths. Madame DuBurry was an exception; she begged and pleaded and offered jewels to her executioners. Some historians think that Royal was so conditioned during the 18th century that even faced with death, they just had to keep their dignity in check as they knew no other option or mode of conduct.

[@harkmi3]

@@Napp28 there were a lot more commoners that were executed during the Terror than aristos. Revisionist history tries to paint the revolution as purely a class struggle when in reality during the terror it was several different factions of revolutionaries turning on each other in turn and killing each group.

[@Napp28]

@@harkmi3 thanks for your reply and you're probably correct to say that during the terror more average ppl were killed in France. (Of course the commoner pool was much larger than the aristocratic one). What isn't a product of revisionist history is that Aristocrats were killed based on their birthright and social standing and not by their character. Individuals like Princess Elizabeth and Princess De Lamballe (purely good in character) were executed only on the basis of their titles. I know during the design of the terror that literally anyone accused (noble or peasant) would face the blade.

@Grey9man Yep, when people are resentful they can be very cruel. When the architect of the Terror was executed, he had a shattered jaw, and when he was in the guillotine, the executioner tore off the bandage holding the jaw in place. The man was in so much pain he screamed until the blade came down to shut him up.

[@J-Called]

And now he screams in hell, where the pain is endless. Robespierre ordered the execution of even adolescents who happened to have the wrong last name, or were related to the aristocray. And Robespierre only paved the way for that the murders ordered by "Comrade" Lenin when he achieved the power that allowed him to avenge his brother's death upon the Russian aristocracy, the faithful of the Orthodox Church, and anyone else on whom he, and his horse-faced wife, wished to carry out their revenge/
