On this day in history in 1793, King Louis XVI of France was lead up a scaffold where a guillotine awaited him. Before being laid down, he spoke to the crowd saying "'I die innocent of all the crimes laid to my charge; I Pardon those who have occasioned my death; and I pray to God that the blood you are going to shed may never be visited on France.'' Drums rolled as the blade dropped-- severing his head. A guard hoisted the head from the basket and held it before the crowd to cheers of 'Vive la Republique!'' The death of Louis heralded a new, bloody stage in the French Revolution.
