When Napoleon Bonaparte asked Henri Sanson, a representative of the legendary executioner dynasty, how you can sleep peacefully, killing nearly two thousand people, Sanson replied: "If kings, dictators and emperors sleep peacefully, why shouldn't the executioner sleep peacefully?" Henri Sanson is the most famous executioner in the world, who at one time received the nickname Great Sanson for his zeal in work. For seven generations, the Sansons were royal punishers.
