- Inside of France during the French Revolution, the guillotine would be used to take the heads off the King and Queen, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. It was used to execute thousands during the period of time known as 'The Terror,' but in the centuries after the guillotine was used to execute criminals in France. But the final woman to be executed on the device with the slanted blade was Germaine Leloy-Godefroy who plotted and carried out a horrific murder of her husband.
Germaine Godefroy fell in love with a younger man and she plotted to kill her husband and run off with the man she had an affair with. She would take an axe and would brutally slay her husband and with this she was sentenced to death. But following this she was held inside of Angers Prison to await her execution, and she became the last woman in France who faced the guillotine.

Cannot fathom out why this execution was any more or less horrific than any other guillotine execution through history. . . . . .
What kind of soft on crime prick would call this horrific? The murder of her husband was horrific, hers was swift and humane.
Maybe it was because it was a woman that made it horrific?
Because nobody would click on it if it didn't say "HORRIFIC" in all caps. Lame video.
@@ronaldweir712 should make no difference. Can't do the time. Don't do the crime 🤷♂️
@@martinleifnymark7432 well if her head is chopped off she isn’t doing any time! I think if you weren’t used to copious amounts of blood emerging from a headless torso then it would appear to be horrific regardless of who it was.
“ there’s a letter for you” “leave it in the basket I’ll read it later”.
"Just a trim, please - not too much off the top!"
@@tomhaskett5161 Brilliant.
Good one.
Awesome!!!
Can't help thinking this is not the worst way of execution.
Really? It could be several seconds before you lose total consciousness due to hypoxia, so you will be aware of everything! Having said that, the garrote was a far more horrid method of execution; as was being hanged by an incompetent American sergeant after your trial at Nuremburg. The fortunate ones got Pierrepoint.
It is now proven that when the head is severed from the body, it is just removed from a blood supply. However, they now know that the brain lives on for around six minutes, even after severing blood supply or heart stops. This means that even as the head is wrapped up and thrown in the basket with the body, the brain still can know what is happening to the head. Imagine the horror, those that had their heads used as footballs felt??? It is said the guillotine was so perfect at killing, it doesn't cause as much trauma as hanging or firing squad does, where people can become immediately unconscious from shock! A severed head can not blink or move its eyelids as was believed.
One head started singing "I Ain't Got No Body!"
@@doraglasberg1287that's funny.
@@SpeccyMan OH GOD NOT 4 SECONDS OF CONSCIOUSNESS!
I wonder how she felt after being caught and then knowing her fate. The guillotine doesn't bother me one bit. But the fact that people kill their spouse either for lust or greed. That worries me.
Agreed.
A-greed!!@@samy7013

Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Where haveyou been all your life, matey?
Title of video is clickbait! There was nothing "Horrific" about her execution.
Yep; he's famous for it, and his voice is really hard to listen to, if you are a native English speaker. It drones on and on with every sentence being delivered in the same way and weird emphasis being put on some of the small words.
@@tombristowe846couldn't agree more!
@@tombristowe846 yup, that put me off completely
Germaine Leloy-Godefroy would beg to differ.
All executions are horrific.
With the behavior of the current French government ... the return of the guillotine would be necessary to make them think that the government is at the service of the people and not the other way around!!
Macron resignation
Having trouble listening to the commentary. Think I'll just leave.
Too much talking.
Good grief man, you’re mixing images of others executions and of fallbiels in German execution chambers. Along with German executioners. Also the executioner would not have paused during the execution, it was over in seconds.
Cheers. Jeez I bet you’re a barrel of laughs 😮🇬🇧
No one views this video for "laughs."
The last execution with the guillotine was performed in 1977.
Very few women were executed in France - there was brief reversion during and just after WW2 where a small number were sentenced to death, including an abortionist.
That was Marie-Louise Giraud whose story became a movie ('Une Affaire de Femmes', 'Story of Women' in English) with Isabelle Huppert playing the role of a woman based upon Giraud. The execution actually took place in wartime, on July 30 1943.
@@WDH59510. A male abortionist was also executed.
@@maconescotland8996 I believe that to be true.
The fact that no woman was executed since 1950 probably created hostility to the death penalty in France and France 🇫🇷 was trying to become more egalitarian. Remember the guillotine was still in use for 28 years after the last woman.
@@johnobrien921 Apart from the very few executed in the brief period of the 1940s France had not imposed the death penalty on women since the 1870s - and that was a rare occurence.
The frequency of executions dropped very significantly after WW2 as opposition to capital punishment grew.
Why was it "horrific"? Was it, in your opinion, because the criminal was a woman instead of a man? Enough with the clickbait titles - they're really not necessary.
I would ask for ten glasses of rum, so I would be so shitfaced that I wouldn't even know what was happening when I had my head struck off.
Well if a head being separated by force from a human body IS NOT horriffic, I dont know what is.
1949.
Ten years later, Pilar Prades, a woman, was executed by garrote in Spain in 1959. The executioner had gotten drunk and had to be dragged to the execution room.
If you look hard enough on CZcams there's a Spanish TV movie based on that very case. A pretty harrowing watch.
The state executioner (Henri Desfourneaux) became a controversial figure during WW2.
During the Vichy era he executed some political opponents of the regime (Communists) and Resistance members, as well as the few women sentenced to death.
His assistants protested the move away from normal executions of common murderers under civil law - eventually they all resigned.
At the Liberation he was held to account for his wartime actions - and was able to argue that he was carrying out the lawful instructions of the then legal government. Thereafter he resumed his role.
He was plagued by self recrimination for his role under Vichy, turning to alcohol and becoming a virtual recluse, dying in office 1951.
executing a woman is no worse than a man, both genders lives are of equal value
And he was wrong as Vichy government made a Coup and then signed the armistice with Germany as they prepare da siege of Paris, the Coup d'Etat to take power never was legitimate and Free France was the original government led by De Gaulle, after brilliant victories in North Africa and saving the entire british army a second time after Dunkirk, at Bir Hakeim made France led by De Gaulle the internationally recognized France state.
Un petit homme - nice guy!
Maybe if the guillotine was still a thing everywhere, our politicians may be a bit more sincere !!
The guillotine wasn't invented at the time of the French revolution. It wasn't even invented in France. It was invented several centuries before the French revolution, in England, where it was known as the Halifax gibbet
The Scots had a version called "the maiden" as far back as the middle ages.
@@heronimousbrapson863
There used to be a model of the Halifax gibbet in the London Dungeon. It would have been the same date as the Maiden. I understand it pees the French off that it wasn't invented by them.
Desire to transfer guilt to another country?
It’s still there.
@@heronimousbrapson863 Cope harder with the facts!
He sholdn't have slept with the axe😂
He speaks in the same tone & manner throughout. Sounds like a robot.
Why are all these "execution" videos titled "horrific"?
Should say justified. But the pathetic people of today consider her a victim. So titling it horrific keeps the Karen's quiet.
@@Larry-bv8nx Exactly Larry, I think the guy who puts out all these vids is a typical progressive (regressive) European, feeling guilty and possibly ashamed of history. There were things the governments/monarchies of the past had correct. The immediate death penalty for pre med murder was certainly one of them!
@@Larry-bv8nx 😢😨 Wow, you must be the life of any party 🎉 talking like that ?..
It's a teaser so that the morbid you will be dying to watch it.
@@saksuthsakan5500 Justice is not "morbid", its an inherent right of the victim!
Be interesting to know what the condemned would chose if giving the option between the blade or the rope.
True. What would YOU choose? Blade or rope?
@@daniellelawman9724 Blade. Much faster.
Not when carried out by Pierrpoint British executioner. He could kill someone’s in under 10 secs from entering the cell.
Killing is murder no matter if its an individual or a government.
In modern times she would not even be indivted because she is a strong powerful woman taking down the patriarchy.
Ok incel
Was this worth it, you decided to murder your innocent husband. Why not just leave your husband?
You're seeking logic in the criminal mind. Doesn't always work.
Why was the execution "Horrific?"
The suppression of executions in France for horrific crimes has opened Pandora's box and allowed criminals to feel total impunity. We have been living in insecurity ever since... We must not disturb well-meaning, which is also capable of the worst crimes, especially against children... May God have mercy on my country...
Serious crimes have been committed for millennia. The death penalty has been used as a threat and deterant for as long. Still serious crimes occur. There are numerous examples of innocent people being convicted with evidence proving their innocence only coming to light years later. A dead person cannot be pardoned with any real benefit to them. The death penalty does not work and does not allow for wrongful convictions to be overturned.
After research done among convicts, the most feared punishment is not the death penalty but life in jail with no possibility of parole. Go figure !
Death penalty satisfies the offended parts, never justice!
No rich m’en in death row….
@@CHI-ts2dk Absolutely. At least the death penalty is quick as opposed to rotting away for life.
The god you are asking to show mercy is responsible for more deaths, (personally AND in the name of), than anything or anybody in History.
I wonder if they ever did anyone face up ? That would be true horror.
Fortress the narrator must clear and articulate for foreigners please.
Guillotine was way too quick for what she did
Sounds like she got what she deserved.
🤔 As Queen 👑 Marie Antoinette said, let them all eat cake 🎂. I demand to keep my head !................😮
I think you will find that it was Madame Defarge who said, " Let them eat cake."
No she didn't
The voice quality is very poor. Cant understand what he is saying.
🎉New sub!Great content 😊
It is probably an interesting story, but the narration is awful. I could not manage more than two minutes.
The Gestapo executed people by guillotine. Not in public. In public it was shooting or hanging
Ty
Totally brilliant and historic comment! Cheers!
There is a video which shows the execution as it happened. It's an old time movie but it's interesting.
If executions prevented muder then would have been no murders and hence no executions.
Also how many innocent people have been killed?
Bad logic. Except that there have been people wrongly executed, but not many. In modern times the chances of an innocent person being executed in the US at least are non-existent.
The Innocence Project estimates 7% of all persons on death row in the United States are innocent. So prior to DNA testing, I would estimate that more than 7% of all persons executed were innocent.
Can't believe this happened in the forties
Crazy that the last person to die by guillotine in France was in 1977.
@@culcune France is pretty crazy in a number of ways...
Well, the last execution with the guillotine in France was in 1977...And in East Germany, it was still in use until 1966.
Where's the "horrific " part ?
l'exécution par la guillotine etait surement la moins douloureuse et la plus rapide
tried and trusted by many
2.10 is a fallbeil and not a guillotine.
so what happened to her money?
Poor woman. Absolutely barbaric.
So the moral of the story is “Quit while you’re a head “ chuckle, grin, snigger !!
Why the title is horrific execution instead of simply The Last Woman guillotined in France ?
More dramatic
You didn't show the beheading !
Why is this so brutal???? It was just like anyone else!
Well I guess that she did murder her husband in a most horrific and meditated way and in some way justifies the way she left this world. I have to say that as history shows us the judicial system has done an almost about face seeing that murder is often punished with what I personally consider a little more than a slap over the wrists. This is and must be so disrespectful and devaluing of the victims loss of their right to life and the family of the victim left with a lifetime sentence of grieving. This is especially so in the event of the murders of the younger individuals in society as they will never expreience the rights that you and I take for granted and enjoy in the process of growing up and being a productive member of any society.
She was a murderess, not a murderer. English has noun declension.
...and suspect will make a Global comeback if the Bible is correctly translated. The End:
Good ridance to bad rubbish.
Why use the pictures from the execution of the last public execution of a man?
I heard she requested the song "I Ain't Got Nobody" be played at her funeral
No, It was 'My Way', long before Frankie Boy!
Who doing the narration e.g. The French king
Louis the sixteenfffff , I rest my case
Here's a suggestion, google thesaurus.
I witnessed the execution
Bring back the death penalty !! that will slow down these criminals
Monotone.
I don't appreciate you sensationalizing by writing "HORRIFIC" when it was ordinary. Bait and Switch!
Good videos but you repeat the same things over and over
The device was not invented as a means of execution or a means to take someone's life. It what invented as a more humane way to amputate limbs. Get your facts straight.
Basement amateur. You can tell by words like "horrific" in thumbs...
Gee, can you not read a sentence following the punctuation? Not three words at a time, with bizarre emphases.
Downvoted.
he failed school darlinks
Interesting
What's horrific about it... she did the crime....they chopped off her head....she suffered far less than her victim
certainty merciful, until it's your😊 neck on the block
This was not the last women executed in this manner.
How is this horrific?
Don't talk nonsense. photographers were prohibited during public executions. the film and photographs of Weidmann's execution are an exception. the execution was carried out very late, in broad daylight. and it is because of this that we have these images. Second error: the condemned were not attached to the board. they were simply tipped onto it and the latter rolled on rollers until the neck was under the telescope. with Anatole Deibler, between the moment when the condemned man was placed against the board and the blade fell, 5 to 7 seconds passed...
Execution chamber?? These pictures are not on an execution chamber.
There was no execution chambers in French prisons: instead the guillotine was assembled in a courtyard. Before it was built in front of the prison's gate. And earlier, before 1870, executions took place on a square and the guillotine was assembled on a scaffold.
It´s quick and painless, not horrific. Compare it to the Electric Chair, Gas Chamber and Lethal injection. All of those could go wrong, also hanging. The guillotine though, done and dusted.
Learn to keep your head.
Yes a quick and easy way of execution. If it can be humane. But more than anything it is also frightening and can consume with fear. The thought of meeting madame guillotine would be a deterent.
I'd rather this than an axe or sword which can miss and take a few goes, depending on the skill of the Executioner 😊😊😊
@@philstrachan I'd rather not be executed at all. Heh Heh.
Thankfully, we’ve moved on now from state sanctioned murder. Well, in civilised countries anyway.
The death penalty by means of beheading by guillotine wasn't a deterrent in her case though was it?
I'd rather pay a fine!
She got what she deserved.
The French learned nothing from the German occupation. 4 years to learn humanity was not enough.
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Let those who are without sin cast the first stone.
Ι am not religious and i do not believe in a vengeful God but I am against the death penalty, so i am right right there with you.
It is true that scripture says that, but it also says that we are to obey the laws of the land. Laws are made for reasons and consequences are specified because of those laws. Bottom line is, don't do the crime if you can't accept the punishment or consequences.
@@rickmaddox3120 The scripture - for those who believe it - appears quite contradictory when it comes to killing people. Elija slaughters mercilessly 500 men and his action is approved by Yawve who has given his full protection to Cain who murdered his brother. Jesus says "let the one among you who is without sin, cast the first stone" but Paul in Romans 13 1-7 condones the death penalty. Just two examples. Lots of contradictions generally.
@@theo9952 I believe in the death penalty...but not a state death penalty. If someone killed a member of my family...I reserve the right to administer justice myself...an eye for an eye. If I cant do it...then it shouldn't be a death penalty imposed by people not affected by the crime.
@@rickmaddox3120 Even though you should follow the law of the land...the state has no right to go against gods will of thou shalt not kill.
the video show the last man executed in France not a woman !!!!!
Too bad it wasn't Hillary. I would have saved our nation all the expense and anguish she has caused.
Oh yes I remember. Trump said to Clinton "you're going to jail" I wonder how long Trump will get,that is until some future Republican President pardons him.
The attempt at French pronunciation is humorously execrable.
PARLIAMO ITALIANO????
wasnt really horrific was it? just deserts id call it.
You really need to work on your narrative style. You are placing your pauses in all the wrong places.
Well i think its funny 😂
FTF.
Click bait!
How do u know she was a "brutal" murderer , u don't know that as a fact . She could of had a drunken abusive husband for all u know ! . . . .
Even if her husband was drunken and abusive, hitting him in the head with an axe must be concidered as rather “brutal”.
How does her husband potentially being a drunk and abusive make what she did not murder? 🤦♂️
And maybe her husband was not drunk or abusive .
@@coolran06 Possibly , but yet again you don't know for sure . Maybe he was a "control freak" like many are nowadays ! . . . . Lol
@@paulh7798 Murder in what degree , what was her motive . In them days , if your face didn't fit they just executed you ! . . .
Horrific why? Because she was a woman? Also not the last woman, try looking at WW2.
WW2: 1939-1945. Execution of Germaine Leloy-Godefroy 1949.
Sophie Scholl was executed during WW2.
Can you please stop Singing you're stories!
So what was 'HORRIFIC' ABOUT IT ?? - This has to be one of the most BORING things that I have ever watched on CZcams... We all know that execution is not a day out feeding the ducks... But why did I waste my time, interested in the claimed 'HORRIFIC' nature of this one ????? Shoite.
Brutal, inhuman, barbaric.
Is it possible to find someone with a more boring voice? I doubt it.
You need JESUS CHRIST to save your life you need to repent JESUS CHRIST really coming soon
As a English Man and a lifelong Abolishonest I'm glad that France no longer has the Death Penalty for Murder as one killing does not justify another killing,okay what that woman did to her poor Husband was terrible but to Behead her no that was wrong and equally what we used to do when we Hanged Murderers that was wrong as that never stopped the Murders in my County and I hope that Capitol Punishment will never come back to my County
You’re part of the problem, not the solution. Execution isn’t about deterrence, at least not primarily about it. It’s largely about the rebalancing of the moral scales in the universe. A person who commits premeditated murder is voting to declare that they are unworthy of life. Abolitionism is cowardly and immoral.
I’ll vote hanging back in the UK if it ever becomes a public vote!!!
