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.

Members of the National convention turned on Robespierre. They demanded his arrest and execution.

No, it is just as "gross" as any other method to die, the only difference was that this one was a bit less painful that other killing methods I think it was very brutal and it left a huge blemish on the French Revolution.

Which king needed to be beheaded twice?
You cannot, if you think about it, be beheaded twice. However an executioner could have difficulties with beheading someone. King Louis XVI of France. The first time the blade fell on his head, it only severed him, and he was still alive, bleeding on the block. The guillotine blade had to be raised again for a second chop.
