Robespierre is moved to a table in…

Robespierre is moved to a table in the room of the Committee of Public Safety, where he awaits execution for the remainder of the night.

He lies on the table bleeding abundantly until a doctor is brought in to attempt to stop the bleeding from his jaw.

Robespierre's last recorded words may have been "Merci, monsieur," to a man that had given him a handkerchief for the blood on his face and clothing.

Later, Robespierre is held in the same containment chamber where Marie Antoinette, the wife of King Louis XVI, had been held.

The next day, July 28, 1794, Robespierre is guillotined without trial in the Place de la Révolution.

His brother Augustin, Couthon, Saint-Just, Hanriot and twelve other followers, among them the cobbler Simon, are also executed.

When clearing Robespierre's neck the executioner tears off the bandage that is holding his shattered jaw in place, producing an agonized scream until the fall of the blade silences him.

Together with those executed with him, he is buried in a common grave at the newly opened Errancis Cemetery (cimetière des Errancis) (March 1794 – April 1797) (near what is now the Place Prosper-Goubaux).

A plaque indicating the former site of the cimetière des Errancis is located at 97 rue de Monceau, Paris 75008.

Between 1844 and 1859 (probably in 1848), the remains of all those buried there will be moved to the Catacombs of Paris.
