Élisabeth Philippe Marie Hélène de France, known as Madame Élisabeth (1764-1794), was a sister of King Louis XVI, to whom she gave unwavering support during the French Revolution. Imprisoned with the royal family in 1792 and called before the Revolutionary Tribunal during the Reign of Terror, she was sentenced to death.
On May 10, 1794, she was taken by cart to the Place de la Révolution with a group of twenty-five people. Chosen to be the last to mount the scaffold, she unsuccessfully requested the assistance of a priest, but the public prosecutor Fouquier-Tinville mockingly refused her request.
