Marie Antoinette – Her husband executed, her children taken and gone, hundreds and hundreds executed. On her last day was forced to change in front of guards, her hair shorn from her head, hands tied behind her back ridden in an open cart for one hour through jeering crowds and she mounts the stairs to a blood stained platform where the guillotine awaits.
“Pardonnez-moi, monsieur. Je ne l’ai pas fait exprès” or “Pardon me, sir, I did not do it on purpose”, after accidentally stepping on her executioner’s shoe.
Something so very sad — courtesy after all the horrors and facing death.
