Extracted From:
Epilogue:
When Custine and his French revolutionary army were forced
out of Frankfurt by the Prussian army in the winter and later when he did not
take any offensive action against the Austrians in northern France, he was
accused of treason. Custine was found guilty by the Revolutionary Tribunal, a
court instituted in Paris for the trial of public offenders, for having
intrigued with the enemies of the French Republic. Comte de Custine was
sentenced to the guillotine and died on August 28, 1793.
