In November 1790, the [French] government demanded that the clergy take a prescribed oath: "I swear to be faithful to the nation, to the law, to the king, and to uphold with all my power the Constitution decreed by the National Assembly and accepted by the king." The clergy split into two different groups: the minority who took the oath and formed the Constitutional Church supported by the government, and the majority who refused to subscribe and became known as the refractory clergy, condemned by the government. Approximately 90 clerics, religious, and lay people (the majority lay) at Angers in Francis refused to take the government required oath and were condemned and executed.
