Most patriots remained... «When the King Took Flight»
nika_821 июля 2026Most patriots remained convinced that he was well meaning and genuinely seeking the best interests of the nation, that it was the classic case of a good king badly advised. Later developments seemed to present evidence that Louis had put aside once and for all the "prejudices" of his caste and embraced the Revolution. The positive perception of the monarch was further reinforced by the great Festival of Federation, on the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille. It was here, in the presence of several hundred thousand cheering people, that Justin George, Etienne Radet, and the other national guardsmen from Varennes had seen Louis raise his hand before the "altar of the Fatherland" and swear an oath to uphold the new constitution.
