In your opinion, was the execution of louis xiv justified?

Answer 1

Probably now since he was not executed. He was a very good king. Louis the xvi however was executed more as a statement of the revolution than anything else.
Americans have a difficute time understanding that kind of revolution since they have a history of forgiving. Look at the civil war. Everyone in the "rebellion" was pardoned and allowed to keep their horses and weapons. I dont think that was ever done before in history. For that matter R.E. Lee and Jeff Davis were pardoned. If you can find any place in European history where that happened I would love to hear about it.
Louis was executed to make a point as part of the revolution. The fact that he was on the throne during a really bad financial time in Europe was a matter of bad timing more than anything he did but he paid the price anyway.

Answer 2

Are you talking about Louis XIV of France? He was not executed he died an old man.

Did you mean Louis XVI of France, who was executed by his subjects? The French populace at the time certainly thought his execution was justified. They saw him and other nobels of the day as parasites that were draining the public funds while the people starved. The king was raised to believe that he ruled by divine right and that as long as he lived he would try to re-establish his throne, so the revolutionaries eliminated that possiblity by killing him. The also extended their executions to include servants who worked for the king and anyone who supported the king and before it was over, they even executed a few of the head revolutionaries.
