I believe they beheaded Marie and King Louie. And they also tore down the biggest prison, brick by brick, as a symbol of their new freedom.

The French Revolution began in 1789 due to financial crises, social inequalities, and Enlightenment ideas. The Third Estate declared itself the National Assembly, stormed the Bastille, and eventually executed King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette. This revolution resulted in the establishment of a republic in France, profoundly altering its political system.
