<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8364671, member: 128351&quot;]I beg to differ. Louis Capet, AKA Louis XVI, was not &quot;murdered&quot;. He was tried for high treason, found guilty and sentenced to death, publicly executed on January 21 1793. He was accused of collusion with foreign powers at war against the French people (cf. the Brunswick Manifesto). The court was not some &quot;revolutionary tribunal&quot; but the whole National Convention. He was sentenced to death on January 15 1793 by 366 votes vs 321 votes for jail. Many people think today that this sentence was too severe (for ex. in 1945 Marshall Pétain&#039;s life was spared and he was jailed), but in 1793 the war was not finished yet...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
