本集简介

The Night of the 13th July 1790

Historical Events: The Revolution has gained strength during the past year. The guardians of the Revolution have formed Federations throughout France, even in the smallest villages. Each Federation is sending delegates to the celebration to be held marking the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille - La Fête de la Fédération.

The delegates from the Federations are arriving in Paris from all corners of France. The Owl is ill, but escapes the ministrations of his daughter Agnes to watch the preparations for the Fête de la Fédération.

Restif is desperately short of money and his daughter Marion goes to the bookseller Merigot for an advance on sales of his work.

Les Deux n'en Font Qu'une (Liberty and Equality)

The Nights of the 12th and 13th July 1789

Historical Events: The King dismisses his Minister of Finance, Necker, and the people are outraged, fearing that the price of bread will rise even higher. Mobs march through the streets pillaging bakers' shops, and the King's guards attack Parisians out for a Sunday afternoon stroll in the Tuileries.

At the Palais-Royal, Camille Desmoulins calls the people to arms. They invade the Invalides, steal weapons stored there and storm the Bastille.

To save his beleaguered printing business from seizure, Restif goes to the money-lender, Monsieur Vilain, to borrow money. He uses the manuscript he is working on - 'The Ideas of an Honest Man for a General Reform of the Laws' - as surety. On his way to Vilain's he is surprised to see men forging weapons which they say are to arm the people.

La Jeune Fille Assassinée (Butchers of Freedom)

The Nights of the 15th and 16th July 1791

Historical Events: The King's attempt to flee has failed. He is seen as a traitor by the people but there is still a majority in the Assembly who support him.

A republican petition is drawn up, demanding the dethronement of the King. The signing takes place on Sunday 17th July on the altar of liberty, erected for the celebration of the second anniversary of the fall of the Bastille in the Champ de Mars. A massacre ensues.

The Owl receives a message requesting a clandestine rendez-vous on the banks of the Seine. He finds Renaud de la Grimière waiting for him, an aristocrat, well-known for his democratic ideas but who despises the Revolution and those, like The Owl, who still support it.
