Nine months after the execution of her husband King Louis XVI, a tribunal tried Marie Antoinette for high treason, sexual promiscuity and incest. Her son Louis-Charles was forced to testify that his mother had molested him. An all-male jury found her guilty and condemned her to death. Marie Antoinette's trial began on 14 October 1793; two days later, she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793 at the Place de la Révolution. #Histo
