From constitution to the execution of Louis XVI

After a while, the French king lost most of his power because of the new constitution ('grondwet'). But because of the enduring problems in the country, the so called Jacobins more and more wanted the king dead. The most prominent leader of the Jacobins was Robespierre. Will add a Dutch and a Spanish version of this clip later on my Instagram. #guillotine #louisxvi #jacobins #jacobijnen #nationalassembly #parlement #franserevolutie
