LOUIS XVI
Footnotes
ʻLE ROI CONSENT ET FERA EXÉCUTER' – LOUIS XVI AUTHORISES A DECREE OF THE NATONAL ASSEMBLY, ten months after his attempted flight from France and nine before he was sent to the guillotine by the same National Assembly. The Assembly was at this time trying to damp down some of the fury against seigneuralism that had been unleashed by the revolution, with reports of a renewed spate of chateau-burning coming in that January and February. In March the locus of peasant activism had shifted from the Lot to the adjacent department of the Cantal, where political agitators were inciting the rural populace to attack chateaux in the neighbourhood of Aurillac (see P.M. Jones, The Peasantry in the French Revolution, 1988, pp. 120-1).
