tiny-librarian:On May 9th, 1794, Madame Elisabeth was transferred to the Conciergerie, from the Temple Prison where she had been kept with her niece, Marie Therese Charlotte. She was brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal and accused of assisting in the Flight to Varennes, supplying funds to royalist sympathizers, and encouraging the resistance of the royal troops on August 10th, 1792. During her trial, when she was addressed as the sister of a tyrant, she replied that: “If my brother had been what you call him, you would not have been where you are, nor I where I am”. The Tribunal condemned her to death, and she was guillotined the next day. -- source link
