Category:Regicides of Louis XVI

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On the 15 January 1793 the Convention, composed of 721 deputies, voted out the verdict. 693 voted guilty, and none voted for acquittal. The next day, a voting roll-call was carried out in order to decide upon the fate of the king, and the result was, for such a dramatic decision, uncomfortably close. 288 deputies voted against death and for some other alternative, mainly some means of imprisonment or exile. 72 deputies voted for the death penalty, but subject to a number of delaying conditions and reservations. 361 deputies voted for Louis' immediate execution.
