Reign of terror is such a dramatic name but for some reason there is no name for the millions of people killed by the casual brutality of the ruling class during the previous centuries of noble rule.
They killed over 16.000 people in 10 months in the XVIII century France. Most victims (over 80%) were commoners too.
Adding jailed dead numbers range from over 25k to 50k. Again, in 10 months, that’s worth having a name. For the noble rule there are several times but the broader one is Absolute Monarchy / Absolutism.

Way to miss the point.
