The purpose that Henry Essex Edgeworth, the Irish priest and confessor to King Louis XVI of France, wrote was not only to document the most gruesome murder committed during France's Reign of Terror against King Louis XVI but to prove that the King graciously forgave those who had a hand in his execution.

Courageously, the King also prayed to God not to punish France for the execution of an innocent man. Fr. Henry's writing on the execution was first published in 1815. He gave details about the 2 hours' journey from the king's palace to where he was executed amidst a tortuous escort.

Thus, the purpose that Henry Essex Edgeworth wrote about the execution of Louis XVI was to prove that the King actually pardoned all who occasioned his execution.
