We cut off a king's head 'cos he said he had "divine right"

(ok, it was slightly more complex and we then had 10 years of theocracy where the most exciting thing you could do was eat an onion, but you can't have it all...)

The French followed suite a bit later. Kings' heads are detachable...

Today in Labor History August 27, 1798: An army of 2,000 French troops and United Irishmen, led by Wolfe Tone, routed a combined force of 6,000 British and Protestant loyalist soldiers in the Battle of Castlebar, during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Wolfe Tone’s Society of United Irishmen formed in the wake of the French Revolution in order to win “equal representation in government for all people,” emancipation of Catholics and an independent Ireland. The organization was composed of both Protestants and Catholics who vowed to make common cause in their struggle. They organized primarily among the working class and tenant farmers. The Irish Rebellion lasted from late 5/24/1798-10/12/1798. Up 50,000 Irish rebels and civilians died in the uprising, along with up to 2,000 loyalist troops.

The Jesuits were literally disbanded by the Pope for political fuckery, and they’ve spent the last 200 years trying to convince everyone that is was no big deal.
