4:20Now PlayingJohn Robson reports, on January 23rd 1793, France’s King Louis XVI was executed for treason by guillotine. Whether he was guilty of disloyalty is questionable but what really has my attention on this day is the guillotine itself which was brought into use with a false idea of “progress” by those who thought it was more humane and egalitarian.
