"As you know, the French Revolution led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the emergence of a republic. In the heat of their rage, the crowd thirsted for the blood of the aristocrats and the royal family. Among those who died at the hands of the revolutionaries was Marie-Louise de Lambal, faithful to the service of Marie Antoinette. The death that befell this virtuous madam on September 3, 1792, is one example of the terrible atrocities committed by the mob during the revolution.

Arrested after the capture of the Tuileries, de Lamballe appeared before the revolutionaries, who decided to interrogate her.

First, she was offered to recognize the ideas of the revolution as true and curse the royal family.

De Lamballe swore allegiance to the ideas of freedom, equality and fraternity, but refused to curse her friends.

Then the journalist Jacques-Rener Hebert, who led the trial, said: “Free this aristocrat,” which in fact turned out to be a conditional sign for murder.

NSFL details with gore and blood. DO NOT read if you'r eating:

Marie-Louise was immediately attacked by several people, the hairdresser Charles cut her forehead with a saber. The woman was dragged along the road, tearing her clothes. Someone appealed to the executioners for prudence, but he was immediately stabbed to death.

Marie-Louise was abused for a long time, she was raped, then her breasts were cut off. The crowd, thirsting for blood, supported this bacchanalia. In conclusion, the butcher Griso cut off the unfortunate head and cut open the stomach. But what happened next was even worse.

In the morning, the townspeople saw a terrible sight. The revolutionaries were moving from La Force prison. Charles the hairdresser walked in front, carrying the Marquise's head on a pike. He was followed by another man, wrapping himself in the entrails of the unfortunate woman and holding her heart in his hand. The rest followed. Who had clothes fluttering in the wind on their peaks, and who carried the impaled arms and legs of the victim. Frenzy and impunity have shown the basest instincts in these people."
