Élisabeth of Bourbon was executed during the French Revolution by order of the revolutionary authorities, after being brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal and condemned as a royalist suspect.

What that means

She was not executed by one single named person in the sources I found; rather, the decision came from the revolutionary government’s judicial machinery during the Terror.

Short version

  • The execution was arranged by the revolutionary state.
  • She was targeted because she was closely tied to the Bourbon royal family.
  • Historical accounts commonly describe her death as politically motivated, not a personal vendetta.

A brief note: “Élisabeth of Bourbon” usually refers to Madame Élisabeth, sister of Louis XVI, who was executed in 1794.
