Geoffroi de Limon was an ardent defender of the monarchy who called for the reinstatement of that institution in France after the French Revolution. King Louis XVI was deposed by the French Revolution in 1789. Seeking to establish a Republic, the Jacobins feared that the antagonistic actions of Prussia and Austria might result in the re-establishment of the monarchy. To forestall such a possibility, the King was tried and executed by guillotine in 1793. Fair .
