    Important note: Even if many of those executed belonged to the Third Estate, in many cases they were probably still loyal to the king. In addition, the nobility and clergy increasingly fled abroad and often joined armies opposed to the revolution, while the Third Estate did not have the same opportunity to do so. This explains why the first and second estates only account for 15% of the victims. Apart from that, it might be useful to add names to the portraits (of the revolutionaries). Nevertheless, it was a beautifully made, very informative video, thank you very much!!!
