Charles-Henri Sanson, full title ''Chevalier Charles-Henri Sanson de Longval'' (February 15, 1739July 4, 1806) was the Royal Executioner of France during the reign of King Louis XVI, and High Executioner of the First French Republic. He administered capital punishment in the city of Paris for over forty years, and by his own hand executed nearly 3,000 people, including the King himself. == Family history == Charles-Henri Sanson was the fourth in a six-generation family dynasty of executioners. His great-grandfather, a soldier in the French royal army named Charles Sanson (1658–1695) of Abbeville, was appointed as Executioner of Paris in 1684.〔Sargent, Lucius Manlius (1855); (''Dealings with the Dead, Vol. II'' ), Dutton & Wentworth, MA, USA; p.635.〕 Upon his death in 1695, the Sanson patriarch passed the office to his son, also named Charles (1681- September 12, 1726). When this second Charles died, an official regency held the position until his young son, Charles John Baptiste Sanson (1719 - August 4, 1778), reached maturity. The third Sanson served all his life as High Executioner, and in his time fathered ten children. The eldest of his sons, Charles-Henri - known as "The Great Sanson" - apprenticed with his father for twenty years, and was sworn into the office on December 26, 1778.〔Croker, John Wilson (1857); (''Essays on the early period of the French Revolution'' ), John Murray, London; (p.570 ff. ) with enumerated list of all six generations of Sansons.〕
