Blood of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette 🤴👸 #shorts Did you know that when French royals Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were beheaded during the French Revolution, people dipped handkerchiefs in their blood as souvenirs? It's a morbid fact, but one that sheds light on the gruesome public executions of the time. In 2011, a group of scientists conducted a DNA analysis on a blood-stained handkerchief dated around 1793 and confirmed that it was indeed soaked in the blood of Louis XVI. The handkerchief had been passed down through generations of a family who claimed to have obtained it from an ancestor who was present at the execution. While it may seem strange to us now, the collecting of macabre souvenirs was not uncommon during public executions in the past. It serves as a reminder of the brutality and violence of the time and the lengths that people went to for a piece of history. Please like and subscribe for more!
