Beheading was not used in Britain in Victorian times, it had stopped some hundreds of years earlier. Beheading by guillotine was still carried out in France in the 1920s and possibly later. People have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia in very recennt decades. I think the last Public Guillotining in France was as late as 1939 !
Members of the National convention turned on Robespierre. They demanded his arrest and execution. The factions within the revolutionary government did not agree, so it was inevitable that one would gain the upper hand and denounce the other groups. So several of those who approved beheadings were themselves beheaded on the guillotine.

I think you are talking about King Louis the sixteenth. He was the king during the French revolution and was detained by the revolutionaries and later beheaded at the guillotine.
