Popular pastimes during the Revolution included singing patriotic songs and planting liberty trees. O pleasant exercise of hope and joy!For mighty were the auxiliars which then stoodUpon our side, we who were strong in love;Bliss was it that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very Heaven: O times,In which the meagre, stale, forbidding waysOf custom, law, and statute took at onceThe attraction of a Country in Romance;When Reason seem'd the most to assert her rightsWhen most intent on making of herselfA prime enchantress -- to assist the work,Which then was going forward in her name.Not favor'd spots alone, but the whole Earth! --William Wordsworth, The Prelude
Revolutionary bowling. Make sure you avoid a king-bishop split. Not to mention that nasty looking counter-revolutionary dragon off to the side.
Royal Jailbreak: Varennes (June, 1791)
At the first annual celebration of the revolution 50,000 National Guardsmen from all over France and 300,000 Parisians witnessed the king taking an oath of loyalty to the new constitution. However, Louis was not loyal to the revolution since it severely restricted his power and even prevented him from leaving Paris to attend Mass in the country. So he decided to run away from home.
Since Marie Antoinette was from Austria, Louis and his family were to travel disguised as servants of a German baroness to the Austrian Netherlands. Helping them was Count Hans Axel von Fersen, most likely the queen’s lover, who arranged for a coach to help them escape. This is where things started going wrong, because Marie Antoinette insisted on a more luxurious coach so she could take the “minimum” two maidservants. They found such a coach, but it was much slower than the original one Fersen had found. Then the queen had to go shopping for new clothes and perfume, which delayed the trip even more.
They finally slipped out through an unguarded gate in the Tuileries palace and were soon rolling toward a rendezvous with a detachment of royal cavalry who would escort them to the border. Of course, before rapid communications like the telegraph or telephone, trying to coordinate travel schedules from two distant starting points was virtually impossible.
Thus, the inevitable delays occurred, with the cavalry arriving at the rendezvous point well ahead of Louis’ party. The sight of a large number of cavalry just hanging around town aroused suspicion among the locals as to why they were there. They claimed they were waiting for a payroll train, but it had gone through long before. Not knowing when or even if Louis would arrive, the cavalry finally had to depart, leaving the king without protection against any random son of a postmaster armed with a portrait of the king.
That son of a postmaster was a man named Drouet who, unfortunately for Louis, was a staunch supporter of the revolution, had been to Paris to celebrate the fall of the Bastille, and therefore recognized Louis from his portrait on an assignats note. Just to make sure, he brought a judge who had served Louis at Versailles to positively identify him. When the judge knelt to acknowledge his king, the game was up and Louis was arrested at Varennes, just thirty miles short of his destination. Below: a British cartoon making fun of Louis’ arrest at Varennes
To the credit of the royalist troops, they did come back to rescue the king, but were delayed nearly an hour when one of them fell into a hole in the forest. When they finally arrived, Drouet, backed up by a large number of national guardsmen stuck a pistol in an officer’s chest, convincing the troops to surrender. (Drouet later revealed that the gun wasn’t loaded.)
While it took one day to reach Varennes, it took four to return Louis to Paris, as he was escorted by thousands of national guardsmen proudly showing off their prisoner. A strange funereal silence met Louis as he entered the city, indicating any previous sympathy and support he had before was now mostly gone.
Not everyone was disappointed.Pickpockets had a field day while people watched Louis coming back from Varennes
On July 17, 1791 some 50,000 Parisians assembled, with 6,000 signing a petition calling for the king’s abdication. When the Marquis de Lafayette brought out the National Guard, the mob started throwing stones, and the troops opened fire, killing fifty men and women. The Revolution was starting to eat its own children.
Louis “real” intended victim? For some reason Robespierre, the rising Jacobin and future leader during the reign of terror, was convinced that Louis’ attempted flight was a plot aimed to kill him. The National Assembly wasn’t convinced.
