I discovered it in the extremely readable autobiography of the executioner of Paris, Charles-Henri Samson, who was there during the Terreur.

Sentiment: Highly Recommended
Trigger: Habsburg attitude towards death
For: History enthusiasts and those interested in royal narratives.
Key quote: By the way, a book everybody should read. It's incredible.
The host mentioned 'Autobiography of the Executioner of Paris' to illustrate the profound and moving story of Marie Antoinette's final moments. This book provides a unique perspective on the historical context of her execution and the significance of her faith.
