In 1789, the French monarchy collapsed under the weight of its own contradictions, unleashing a decade of radical upheaval that reshaped Europe and the world. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the storm: from the glittering halls of Versailles under Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, to the breadlines of Paris and the storming of the Bastille. They trace the rise of the Third Estate, the Tennis Court Oath, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The narrative follows the radicalization of the Revolution — the Reign of Terror under Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety, the execution of the king and queen, the Vendée uprising, and the Thermidorian Reaction. The series concludes with the Directory, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the legacy of revolutionary ideals: liberty, equality, fraternity.

  • The September Massacres: A Myth of Chaos 27.09.2026 8นาที
    For years, the September Massacres of 1792 have been portrayed as a spontaneous outburst of barbarism, a moment when reason completely abandoned France. But this episode peels back that narrative to reveal a more complex reality involving the Paris Commune, the Compagnie d'Arcole, and the calculated decisions of leaders like Henriot and Hanriot. We explore how the fear of a Prussian invasion and the presence of counter-revolutionary prisoners in the Conciergerie and La Force prisons created a pressure cooker that exploded into violence. Through the accounts of witnesses like Guillaume Doucerand and the actions of figures such as Abbé Féraud, we examine whether these killings were a chaotic riot or a coerced purge driven by political necessity. The conversation investigates the role of the sans-culottes and the Sectionnaires who stormed the Champ de Dix-Huit, challenging the simplistic view that this was merely an era of mindless bloodlust. Instead, we look at the structural failures of the legal system and the moral compromises made by revolutionaries who believed they were saving the Republic from internal treason. This deep dive separates the legend from the historical record, offering a nuanced understanding of one of the Revolution's darkest and most misunderstood weeks. #SeptemberMassacres #FrenchRevolution #ParisCommune #LaForce #Conciergerie #GuillaumeDoucerand #AbbéFéraud #Henriot #sansculottes #ChampdeDixHuit #1792 #PrussianInvasion #CompagniedArcole #Sectionnaires #RevolutionaryTerror #History #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory #PoliticalViolence Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The August 10 Insurrection and the Fall of the Monarchy 26.09.2026 8นาที
    While previous episodes have explored the Terror’s architects and the September Massacres, we now turn to the explosive moment that made it all possible: August 10th, 1792. This episode examines how the insurrectionary Paris Commune, led by figures like Pierre-Gaspard Chaumette and Jean-Nicolas Pache, stormed the Tuileries Palace. We detail the role of the Swiss Guard in their tragic defense, the violent death of King Louis XVI’s family, and the immediate suspension of the monarchy. By dissecting the actions of the Sectionnaires and the sans-culottes who breached the royal apartments, we reveal how a single day of chaos dismantled centuries of royal authority and thrust France into the First Republic. #August10 #TuileriesPalace #LouisXVI #MarieAntoinette #SwissGuard #ParisCommune #PierreGaspardChaumette #JeanNicolasPache #Sectionnaires #sansculottes #FrenchRevolution #FirstRepublic #NationalConvention #KingOfFrance #RoyalFamily #EuropeanHistory #RevolutionaryWar #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • Louis XVI's Iron Closet: The Truth Behind the Armoire de Fer 25.09.2026 11นาที
    We often think of the French Revolution as a series of grand speeches and public executions, but the collapse of royal power was also driven by intimate, secret betrayals. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the 'Armoire de fer'—the hidden iron closet in Louis XVI’s bedroom at the Tuileries Palace. Discovered in November 1792, it contained thousands of documents that revealed the King’s private correspondence with foreign powers, including Austria and Prussia, effectively shattering any remaining illusion that he was merely a misunderstood constitutional monarch. We look at how this physical object became the ultimate political weapon for the radicals, leading directly to the trial of Louis Capet. We also examine the role of Jean-Baptiste Cléry, the King’s valet who discovered the compartment, and the legal strategies used by Louis’s defense team to mitigate the damage of these treasonous letters. This story is not just about a closet; it is about the moment the Revolution stopped trying to reform the monarchy and decided to dismantle it entirely. #Armoirededefer #LouisXVI #TuileriesPalace #FrenchRevolution #JeanBaptisteClely #MarieAntoinette #TrialOfLouisCapet #NationalConvention #Jacobins #Girondins #TreisonDocuments #ParisHistory #RoyalBetrayal #ConstitutionalMonarchy #SeptemberMassacres #Thermidor #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Tricolour: How France Invented a National Symbol 24.09.2026 8นาที
    We often think of the French flag as an ancient symbol, but in 1789 it was a radical experiment in visual identity. This episode traces the birth of the tricolore cockade from the marriage of Paris’s blue and red city colours with the royal white. We explore how Lafayette and the National Guard turned a simple button into a unifying emblem during the early weeks of the Revolution. You will hear about the specific moments when this symbol moved from a badge of loyalty to a tool of political conformity. We look at the street-level reactions in Paris, the resistance from those who saw the white as sacred, and the rapid standardization of the design. The narrative focuses on June 27th, 1789, when Louis XVI accepted the cockade, marking a brief moment where the monarchy tried to embrace the new order. We also examine the tension between the symbolic power of the flag and the violent reality unfolding in the streets. By the end, you will understand why this three-coloured ribbon was more than just fabric—it was the first attempt to paint a nation. #FrenchRevolution #Tricolore #NationalGuard #Lafayette #LouisXVI #Cockade #Paris #July14th #June27th1789 #BlueAndRed #RoyalWhite #Bastille #CitizenKing #Symbolism #PoliticalIdentity #ConstitutionalMonarchy #History #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Day France Burned Its Past: August 10th 1792 23.09.2026 13นาที
    This episode explores the pivotal insurrection of August 10th, 1792, when Parisian revolutionaries stormed the Tuileries Palace, effectively ending the French monarchy and creating a power vacuum that would lead to the September Massacres. We focus on the role of the Insurrectionary Commune, led by figures like Pierre-Gaspard Chaumette and Jean-Nicolas Pache, who mobilized the sans-culottes against King Louis XVI. The narrative details the failed defense by Swiss Guards, the flight of the royal family to the National Assembly, and the subsequent suspension of the king’s powers. We also examine the political maneuvering of the Girondins versus the Jacobins in the aftermath, highlighting how this single day of violence dismantled constitutional limits and paved the way for the First Republic. Key locations include the Tuileries, the Salle du Manège, and the streets of Le Peletier. Listeners will understand the human chaos of the moment, from the panic of courtiers to the fervor of the sectionnaires. #August10 #TuileriesPalace #LouisXVI #FrenchRevolution #SwissGuards #SansCulottes #InsurrectionaryCommune #PierreGaspardChaumette #JeanNicolasPache #NationalAssembly #Girondins #Jacobins #SeptemberMassacres #FirstRepublic #ParisHistory #EuropeanHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Directory and the Coup of Brumaire 22.09.2026 7นาที
    Episode 242 explores the final collapse of revolutionary authority as the Directory’s fragile constitutional experiment unravels under military pressure and political corruption. We examine how the Directors, paralyzed by factionalism and dependent on generals like Napoleon Bonaparte, lost all legitimacy in the eyes of the public. The episode details the failed coups of Fructidor and Floreal, where the regime purged its own elected representatives, and traces the rise of the Royalist majority in 1797 that terrified the Jacobins. Finally, we follow the events leading to November 9, 1799, when General Bonaparte, backed by his brother Lucien and army loyalists, dissolved the Councils and established the Consulate, ending ten years of revolutionary chaos. Listeners will encounter specific dates, the roles of Sieyès and Ducos, the mechanics of the coup d'état, and the quiet resignation of a nation ready for order over liberty. #FrenchRevolution #NapoleonBonaparte #CoupOfBrumaire #DirectoryGovernment #Sieyes #Barras #Reubell #LazareCarnot #ThermidorianReaction #Consulate #FrenchHistory #1799 #NationalConvention #CouncilOfFiveHundred #CouncilOfAncients #FructidorCoup #FlorealCoup #LucienBonaparte #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Constitution of 1793: The Revolution's Lost Peace 21.09.2026 6นาที
    Most histories focus on the Terror, but in June 1793, the Convention adopted a radical new constitution that promised liberty, equality, and fraternity without the guillotine. This episode explores the Constitution of the Year I, a document written by the Montagnards that was never implemented due to war and internal revolt. We examine its surprising provisions, including universal male suffrage, the right to public assistance, and the right to insurrection against tyranny. Lucas and Luna discuss how this legal framework reflected the idealistic peak of the Jacobin movement before political necessity forced it into obscurity. By looking at the text itself rather than just the violence of the era, we uncover a different side of revolutionary governance—one focused on social welfare and direct democracy. The narrative follows the drafting process led by figures like Le Bon and the debates within the Committee of General Security. This approach reveals why the Constitution was both ambitious and ultimately doomed, offering a fresh perspective on the collapse of royal power and the birth of modern French republicanism. #ConstitutionOf1793 #FrenchRevolution #Montagnards #YearI #Jacobins #UniversalSuffrage #RightToInsurrection #SocialWelfare #NationalConvention #LeBon #DirectDemocracy #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory #RevolutionaryFrance #PoliticalTheory #ConstitutionalLaw #Paris1793 #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The French Revolution: The Collapse of Royal Power 20.09.2026 8นาที
    We are exploring the final days of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, focusing not on the execution itself, but on the psychological unraveling that preceded it. This episode details the 'Iron Chest' discovery, the trial of the Queen in December 1793, and the strategic silence adopted by the King’s defense team. We examine how the Girondins’ fall removed the last moderate buffer, leaving Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety to manage the monarchy’s liquidation. Key figures include Charles-Henri Sanson, the royal executioner; Abbe Edgeworth de Firmont, the King’s spiritual counselor; and Madame Roland, whose salon was a hub of Girondin resistance. We also look at the role of Joseph Lebon in Arras and the broader terror sweeping through provincial France during Thermidor. The narrative moves from the Conciergerie to the Place de la Révolution, highlighting the bureaucratic machinery of death that turned a king into a number. This is a story about the end of an era, told through the eyes of those who watched it happen. #FrenchRevolution #LouisXVI #MarieAntoinette #Guillotine #Conciergerie #PlaceDeLaRévolution #Robespierre #Danton #SansCulottes #Girondins #Jacobins #Thermidor #ArmoireDeFer #CharlesHenriSanson #AbbeEdgeworth #MadameRoland #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Girondins and the Fall of the Jacobin 19.09.2026 9นาที
    We left off with the intense power struggle between the radical Montagnards and their rivals, but this episode zooms in on the specific figures who tried to hold the revolution together through debate rather than bloodshed. We explore the political philosophy of Jacques Pierre Brissot and the Girondin faction, who believed in a decentralized republic and were horrified by the chaos of the Paris Commune. You will hear about the pivotal May 31st insurrection in 1793, where the National Convention was surrounded by armed sans-culottes to arrest the Girondin deputies. We also look at the tragic end of Madame Roland, whose salon was once the intellectual heart of French liberalism before she took her own life as the guillotine approached. This is the story of how moderate voices were silenced not just by ideology, but by force. #Girondins #Jacques_Pierre_Brissot #Madame_Roland #May_31st_Insurrection #National_Convention #Paris_Commune #French_Revolution #Jacobins #Montagnards #sans_culottes #1793_France #Roland_Salon #Deportation #Terror #Constitutionnel #Federalist_Revolts #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Girondins: France's Lost Moderate Revolution 18.09.2026 10นาที
    In this episode, we explore the tragic arc of the Girondins, the moderate faction that believed in a constitutional republic but found themselves crushed by the radical Montagnards. We look at how Jacques Pierre Brissot and Jean-Marie Roland tried to steer the revolution away from chaos, only to be outmaneuvered by the Paris Commune and the Committee of Public Safety. The story focuses on the critical days of May and June 1793, when the National Convention turned against its own members. We examine the role of the sans-culottes in enforcing political purity and the devastating consequences for those labeled enemies of the people. This is a deep dive into the internal mechanics of the French Revolution, showing how quickly idealism can turn into paranoia. We will discuss the specific arrests of the twenty-two deputies, the federalist revolts that followed, and why the moderates failed to build a stable government. It is a story about the limits of tolerance in times of crisis. #FrenchRevolution #Girondins #Montagnards #JacquesPierreBrissot #JeanMarieRoland #NationalConvention #May31st1793 #ParisCommune #sansculottes #federalistrevolt #CommitteeOfGeneralSecurity #arrestof22 #PlaceDeLaRévolution #Thermidor #History #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory #PoliticalHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Radical Calendar: How Revolution Rewrote Time 17.09.2026 6นาที
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the French Republic’s bold attempt to erase centuries of tradition by redesigning time itself. Following the abolition of monarchy in 1793, the National Convention sought to break from Christian history not just politically, but temporally. They introduced the Republican Calendar, a decimal system that replaced months with agricultural names like Vendémiaire and Germinal, and days with numbers instead of saints’ names. We look at why Maximin Rubaud invented a ten-day week called the décadi, how the system struggled against peasant habit, and what its eventual collapse tells us about the limits of revolutionary engineering. From the cold logic of decimal time to the warmth of traditional Sunday rest, we examine how the revolutionaries tried to legislate the rhythm of daily life. #FrenchRevolution #RepublicanCalendar #Vendémiaire #Germinal #MaximinRubaud #NationalConvention #DecennialTime #TenDayWeek #Décadi #AbolitionOfMonarchy #Secularization #CultOfReason #NapoleonBonaparte #GregorianCalendar #1793 #1794 #HistoryPodcast #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The September Massacres: Chaos in Paris Prisons 16.09.2026 7นาที
    Episode 236 revisits the harrowing week of early September 1792, but this time we focus on the human tragedy inside Paris’s prisons rather than the political maneuvering outside. We explore how the Commune de Paris, led by figures like Henriot and François-Nicolas Vincent, transformed detention centers into killing fields due to genuine fear of counter-revolutionary uprisings and Prussian invasion. You will hear about the specific conditions at La Force and the Conciergerie, the role of the sans-culottes in organizing the tribunals, and the chilling accounts of victims like Abbé Féraud and Guillaume Doucerand. This episode separates the legend from the evidence, examining why moderate revolutionaries failed to stop the violence and how these events permanently radicalized the French Revolution. It is a story of panic, mob justice, and the collapse of legal order when the state apparatus crumbles under pressure. #SeptemberMassacres #ParisPrisons #LaForce #Conciergerie #CommuneDeParis #SansCulottes #Henriot #AbbéFéraud #GuillaumeDoucerand #ChampDeDixHuit #FrenchRevolution #1792 #MobJustice #PrisonersOfWar #NonJuringPriests #Girondins #Montagnards #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Vendee Uprising: France's Forgotten Civil War 15.09.2026 10นาที
    While Paris watched the guillotine, a different kind of revolution erupted in western France. This episode explores the War in the Vendée, a peasant uprising that began not as royalist counter-revolution, but as a defense of local faith and autonomy against the National Convention’s conscription laws. We follow the path from the election of Catholic priests to the brutal repression by the Republican army, highlighting figures like General Turreau and his infamous 'infernal columns.' Unlike the urban political struggles we’ve covered before, this was a rural civil war marked by massacres on both sides and a legacy so painful it remains contested today. Lucas and Luna examine how the fear of atheism and the enforcement of the levée en masse turned ordinary farmers into soldiers, and how the Republic responded with total war tactics that shocked even contemporaries. We look at the specific orders given to destroy crops and burn villages, the role of women like Catherine Dufour, and the eventual amnesty under Napoleon. This story offers a crucial missing piece to understanding the French Revolution: that for many, liberty meant protecting their church, not overthrowing it. #WarInTheVendee #FrenchRevolution #VendeeUprising #CatholicResistance #LeveeEnMasse #GeneralTurreau #InfernalColumns #RoyalistRebellion #RepublicanArmy #WesternFrance #PeasantRevolt #CivilWarHistory #1793France #NationalConvention #Chouannerie #MarieAnneEleric #CatherineDufour #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Reign of Terror's Architects 14.09.2026 12นาที
    In Episode 234, Lucas and Luna explore the intricate machinery of the Committee of Public Safety during the height of the French Revolution. While earlier episodes covered the September Massacres and the execution of Louis XVI, this conversation zooms in on the institutionalization of fear under Robespierre, Saint-Just, and Couthon. We examine how the Law of Suspects transformed vague revolutionary zeal into a bureaucratic instrument of control, detailing the roles of Fouquier-Tinville at the Revolutionary Tribunal and the chilling efficiency of the surveillance networks. The episode highlights the ideological purity that drove these men, their creation of the Cult of the Supreme Being, and the eventual backlash from both the moderates and the radical sans-culottes. Through specific accounts of arrests, trials, and the political maneuvering within the National Convention, listeners will understand not just why the Terror happened, but how it was administratively sustained until Thermidor. #FrenchRevolution #ReignOfTerror #CommitteeOfPublicSafety #Robespierre #SaintJust #Couthon #LawOfSuspects #RevolutionaryTribunal #FouquierTinville #NationalConvention #CultOfTheSupremeBeing #Thermidor #sansculottes #Jacobins #Paris1793 #Guillotine #Concierge #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Reign of Terror's Dark Heart 13.09.2026 7นาที
    We left off with the fall of the Girondins and the rise of the Committee of Public Safety, but this episode dives into the machinery that made the Terror work: the Law of Suspects. We explore how ordinary citizens could be imprisoned without trial, turning neighbors against each other in a climate of paranoia. Lucas traces the legislative origins of this law through Maximilien Robespierre and Louis-Sébastien Mercier, while Luna examines the human cost on the ground in Paris prisons like the Conciergerie and La Force. We look at the specific criteria used to define a suspect, from vague political opinions to simply failing to provide a certificate of civism. The conversation also touches on the role of the revolutionary tribunals and the terrifying efficiency of the state apparatus. By examining letters from prisoners and accounts from the sans-culottes, we see how fear became a civic duty. This is not just about politics; it is about how a revolution consumed its own children when security was prioritized over justice. #ReignOfTerror #LawOfSuspects #MaximilienRobespierre #CommitteeOfPublicSafety #FrenchRevolution #Conciergerie #LaForcePrison #LouisSebastienMercier #SansCulottes #RevolutionaryTribunal #ParisHistory #1793France #PoliticalParanoia #CivicVirtue #ArbitraryArrest #FexingoHistory #EuropeanHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Girondins: France’s Lost Moderate Revolution 12.09.2026 9นาที
    In Episode 232, we explore the tragic fall of the Girondins, the moderate republicans who tried to steer the French Revolution away from the bloodshed of the Terror. After the radical Montagnards and the Paris Commune seized power in May 1793, leading figures like Jacques Pierre Brissot and Jean-Marie Roland were arrested, exiled, or executed. We examine how their belief in federalism and legal process clashed with the Montagnard demand for centralized emergency powers. This episode details the political maneuvering in the National Convention, the role of the sans-culottes in Paris, and the ideological divide that ultimately consumed the revolutionaries themselves. Through the lens of Brissot’s final days and the purge of the Convention, we see how the revolution devoured its own moderates, leaving only the most extreme voices standing. #Girondins #Montagnards #JacquesPierreBrissot #JeanMarieRoland #May31st1793 #NationalConvention #ParisCommune #FrenchRevolution #ModerateRepublicanism #Federalism #Terror #Hébertists #Dantonists #SansCulottes #Robespierre #Danton #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The September Massacres: Chaos in Paris Prisons 11.09.2026 7นาที
    In the summer of 1792, as the Prussian army advanced on Paris and rumors swirled that royalist prisoners were plotting to stab the city in the back, a radical faction known as the Commune de Paris seized control. Under the command of Henriot, sans-culottes mobs stormed La Force, the Conciergerie, and other prisons, executing hundreds of priests and suspected counter-revolutionaries in what became known as the September Massacres. This episode examines the specific chain of events that turned political fear into slaughter, focusing on the role of Georges Danton’s warning to guard against internal enemies and the tragic figure of Abbé Féraud, whose death at the hands of the mob marked a point of no return for revolutionary justice. We explore how the absence of centralized authority allowed local gangs to become executioners, and why the National Convention initially stood by rather than intervening. #SeptemberMassacres #FrenchRevolution #CommunedeParis #sansculottes #Henriot #AbbeFeraud #LaForcePrison #Conciergerie #GeorgesDanton #GuillaumeDoucerand #ChampdeDixHuit #1792 #PrussianInvasion #RoyalistPrisoners #RevolutionaryTerror #ParisHistory #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The September Massacres: Chaos in Paris Prisons 10.09.2026 7นาที
    In August 1792, the fall of the monarchy triggered a panic that spilled into the streets and prisons of Paris. As rumors spread that royalist prisoners were plotting to stab inmates during an upcoming attack, the city’s radical Commune authorized the killing of suspects. This episode explores the September Massacres, focusing on the brutal reality inside La Force prison and the role of Henriot and the sans-culottes. We examine how fear transformed into violence, the specific stories of victims like Abbé Féraud, and the immediate political aftermath that forced the Convention to confront the bloodshed. From the Hôtel de Ville to the Champ de Dix-Huit, we trace the chaotic hours that defined the Revolution's descent into terror. #SeptemberMassacres #FrenchRevolution #LaForcePrison #Henriot #sansculottes #CommuneDeParis #AbbéFéraud #GuillaumeDoucerand #ChampDeDixHuit #1792 #ParisHistory #Jacobins #Terror #Royalists #RevolutionaryViolence #Conciergerie #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #EuropeanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The Flight to Varennes: Louis XVI's Failed Escape 09.09.2026 8นาที
    In Episode 229, we explore the catastrophic escape attempt of King Louis XVI in June 1791, known as the Flight to Varennes. While earlier episodes covered the Tennis Court Oath and the early days of the Constitutional Monarchy, this episode focuses on the specific mechanics of the king’s disguise, his reliance on Joseph Drouet, and the moment his identity was exposed at the post station in Varennes-sur-Aube. We examine how the royal family’s travel plans were undermined by poor planning, the discovery of their hidden papers in the armoire de fer, and the subsequent collapse of public trust in the monarchy. Lucas details the route taken from the Tuileries to Montmédy, the role of the postmasters, and the immediate political fallout that turned France from a constitutional monarchy into a republic in waiting. Luna guides the narrative by asking about the human elements—the fear, the mistakes, and the ordinary citizens who changed the course of history. This story reveals why the king’s attempt to flee for his life ultimately sealed his fate. #FlightToVarennes #LouisXVI #MarieAntoinette #VarennesSurAube #JosephDrouet #FrenchRevolution #ConstitutionalMonarchy #TuileriesPalace #Montmeudy #ArmoireDeFer #JeanBaptisteDrouet #RoyalEscape #1791France #PostMaster #NationalGuard #Lafayette #PereRoux #RepublicWaiting #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
  • The September Massacres: Chaos in Paris Prisons 08.09.2026 8นาที
    In August 1792, as the Prussian army advanced on Paris and the monarchy collapsed, a wave of panic swept through the capital. The Commune de Paris ordered the closure of the city gates and the arrest of suspected royalist sympathizers held in prisons like La Force and the Conciergerie. What followed were the September Massacres, where mobs stormed these facilities over ten days, executing hundreds of prisoners including priests, nobles, and common criminals. This episode examines the specific mechanics of this terror, focusing on the role of Henriot, the chaotic proceedings at La Force, and the tragic death of Abbé Féraud. We explore how fear, political maneuvering, and mob violence combined to create one of the most shocking events of the French Revolution, distinguishing between organized political purge and uncontrolled slaughter. #SeptemberMassacres #FrenchRevolution #LaForcePrison #CommuneDeParis #Henriot #AbbéFéraud #Conciergerie #PrussianArmy #August1792 #sansCulottes #GuillaumeDoucerand #ChampDeDixHuit #ParisPrisons #1792History #EuropeanHistory #MobViolence #PoliticalTerror #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
