=Execution of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette =

According to this website, Louis XVI inherited the throne at a bad time. His predecessors Louis XIV and Louis XV left him in a time of bad economy (almost in bankruptcy), and as he became King the economy got even worse. “On January 20, 1793, the National Convention condemned Louis XVI to death, his execution scheduled for the next day." The people executed him because they didn't like him, and because he tried to run away. However, they caught him and threw him in prison. He stayed there for a long time, and then eventually got executed
