Why do you think the soldier ordered the drums to beat as Louis XVI spoke from the scaffold?
Explanation:
The soldiers were ordered to beat the drums by General Antoine Joseph Santerre on the day of execution of the king Louis XVI on January 21st 1793. It was in this moment of horror that the king recollected his courage and mounted the scaffold (a raised wooden platform used formerly for the public execution) for a public speech during the French Revolution. The king begged the general Santerre to allow him to speak but he was denied. The general told "I have brought you here to die, this is not the time to make speeches" and signalled with his sword to beat the drums and sound the trumpets so that his voice could not be heard.
