She's accused of treason.
And actually, somebody who testifies against her is this young black servant that she had been given as a gift when he was a child.
This was a sort of popular.
Yeah, it's kind of it's pretty gross.
I mean, one of the sort of things that the French nobility did in the 1770s and under the regime is they would they would bring these small black children and dress them up and sort of.
And so she has this young boy, Zamor, who is a servant to her.
He grows up.
He actually testifies against her at the trial.
So she is found guilty and she goes to the guillotine in December of 1793 for treason, for sympathy with the royalty.

It kind of got to that point, didn't it?
People really hate the women who are associated with the old regime.
