Les analyses proposées révèlent les détails de la vie de Chauveau-Lagarde avant 1789, les contextes légaux et politiques de la période en question, ses perspectives sur la Révolution, les perspectives qu ' il a adoptées envers cet évènement dans le temps et la manière dont son comportement a affecté sa vie jusqu'à la fin de la Terreur. L'objectif principal de cette recherche consiste à démontrer, en examinant les expériences de Chauveau-Lagarde, comment la politique de la Révolution a infiltré le monde légal de cette période de l' histoire. La position légale de cet avocat, pendant la période de la Terreur, donne une perspective unique d'analyse de la Révolution Française, dû aux conséquences des sphères de la loi et de la politique qui s'y sont intégrées. La vie de Chauveau-Lagarde était en danger en raison d' une posture qui semblait démontrer des sympathies contre-révolutionnaires. Le fait que Chauveau­ Lagarde a survécu donne encore plus d'intérêt à l' analyse de sa vie et de sa carrière et à 1' importance de la loi, même dans un moment où le droit paraît suspendu. MOTS CLÉS: AVOCAT, DÉFENSE, TRIBUNAL RÉVOLUTIONNAIRE, RÉVOLUTION FRANÇAISE, TERREUR. SUMMARY This piece of research concems itself with the legal career of Claude François Chauveau­ Lagarde at the ti me of the French Revolution. The issues to be analyzed include Chauveau-Lagarde' s background information, the legal and political contexts ofthe time in question, his views on the French Revolution, the stances he came to adopt, and how this affected the manner his life unfolded right up to the end of the Terror. Furthermore, the impact that such behavior had on his post-revolutionary career will be examined, if only to give sorne idea of how a legal defender of notable counter-revolutionaries could benefit from having acted in such a capacity. Y et the principal aim of my thesis will be to show, through Chauveau-Lagarde's experiences, the extent to which the politics of the Revolution infiltrated the legal framework that came into place following the overthrow of the monarchy. The legal advocacy that this lawyer provided for his many well-known clients during the Terror provides a unique focal point in analyzing the French Revolution. This is due to the overlapping nature of law and politics during the time in question. For Chauveau-Lagarde' s very life would be in danger as a result of the legal position he found himself in, a position which seemed to retlect counter-revolutionary sympathies. The fact that he survived adds greater interest to the analysis of his li fe and career. INTRODUCTION Among the numerous headstories that currently adom the Montparnasse Cemetary in Parisis one that bears the epitaph "Chauveau-Lagarde: Avocat de la Reine au procès de 1793".1 The queen in question was Marie Antoinette, widow of King Louis XVI of France. The trial was the one that was attempting to determine her supposed treachery of French interests. In reality, though, it was really nothing more than a show trial meant to appease the anti-monarchic bloodthirstiness of the French Revolution, which had broken out in 1789.2 And one of the lawyers who defended her at this time, a time when any kind of association with the counter-revolution cou id bring about a death sentence, was a former avocat au parlement who went by the name of Claude François Chauveau-Lagarde. A product of the Old Regime, the callîng of the Estates General on the eve of the Revolution had initially seen Chauveau-Lagarde sympathetic to what was unraveling.3 Yet such a position ultimately did not materialize into more hardened stances on his behalf, as would be demonstrated by the way he responded to the situations that he found himself in throughout the political turbulence of the years to come. There is no question that Marie Antoinette was Chauveau-Lagarde's most famous cl ient. His epitaph is significant in this regard due to the fact that it makes reference to an event which was only two days in length and which was essentially a charade. For inscriptions that are found on tombstones generally retlect lifelong attributes and achievements, though this one focuses on one event in particular. Y et the role that Chauveau-Lagarde played in Marie Antoinette's ordeal, however he came to occupy that rote and however minimal his influence on the outcome of events, became attached with his name and reputation. And the place that his doomed client continues to occupy in the pantheon of history does not make this ali that surprising. Therefore his epitaph, though commemorating a trial in which he pleaded unsuccessfully, might

DNA EVIDENCE and LOUIS XVII This illustration is cropped from a larger image, published in 1856, depicting Marie Antoinette wearing a necklace. It was originally published in Le collier de la Reine ("The Queen's Necklace") by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Count of Monte Cristo and other adventure novels). The furor, against the Queen, was about a necklace. Not just any necklace. A 2,800-carat (647 brilliants) diamond necklace which the court’s jewelers (Charles Boehmer and Paul Bassenge) had fashioned and hoped the queen would purchase. Marie Antoinette, however, did not want it. Though she had previously spent a great deal of her own money on diamonds, she no longer desired to purchase extravagant jewelry. How could the queen spend money on baubles when people in the country did not have enough to eat? In fact, the queen had previously told Boehmer, the jeweler, that she did not want to buy anything more from him. Thinking he could persuade the king to buy the necklace, Boehmer convinced one of Louis’ assistants to show him the piece. Not realizing Antoinette had already rejected it, the king - who thought it would look wonderful on his wife - sent it to Antoinette.

  • The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794
    Securing the Revolutionary State: The Development of French Counter-Espionage, 1791-1794 By Carlos GARCIA DE LA HUERTA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Kingston University for the university degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History September 2020 [Page intentionally left blank] i Supervision: Professor Marisa LINTON (First Supervisor) 1 Dr Rachael JOHNSON 2 1 Professor in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom 2 Senior Lecturer in History Kingston University London Kingston School of Art School of Arts, Culture and Communication Department of Humanities Penrhyn Road Kingston upon Thames KT1 2EE United Kingdom ii [Page intentionally left blank] iii Abstract The history of counter-espionage during the early years of the French Revolution has been curiously overlooked by scholars and non-fiction writers alike. Until now, no single study has appeared, or indeed been published, charting the course of its development during the period in discussion. This thesis aims to fill this lacuna, not by offering an episodic account of its activities but by examining the precepts, perceptions and procedures that determined its conduct as it relates to la sûreté de l’état. Its objective, in other words, is to demonstrate how the pursuit and punishment of spies is not a simple cloak and dagger tale of hidden plots and secret agents but a fundamental question of national security. As this thesis will explain, the role that counter-espionage played is actually of central importance to our understanding of how the revolutionaries defended and securitized their embryonic state at a crucial juncture in its existence.

  • Louis XVI, a Constitutional Monarch?
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02633-9 - Louis XVI and the French Revolution, 1789–1792 Ambrogio A. Caiani Excerpt More information Introduction: Louis XVI, a constitutional monarch? ‘He that you call a king, we call a tyrant’1 Some time after the insurrection of 10 August 1792, the abbé Jean-Louis Soulavie travelled to the Comité de Surveillance of the Tuileries district to present an odd request.2 He pleaded for permission to consult the papers of the deposed Louis XVI which were still stored in the royal palaces. François Chabot, the head of the committee and formerly a Capuchin monk, could not contain his amazement.3 There was nothing intrinsic- ally wrong with the abbé’s desire to write a history of Louis XVI’s reign. However, the question which deeply troubled Chabot was on which side of the scales of historical bias Soulavie’s writings would lean. I think that among these scribblings and scraps of paper you will find the writ- ings of Turgot, Necker and Malesherbes, and that you will become biased in favour of Capet, like one member of [our] committee whom we surprised cry- ing like an idiot over a letter sent by [Madame] Elisabeth to her brother Capet … Is it among these [papers] that you can find the majesty of our revolution, the insurrection of the people, their resounding triumph over the crowned ogres who sought to devour them[?] Do you not have the means at your dis- posal of making history more inspiring, more imposing, more interesting than the miserable court intrigues that you wish to examine? Beware lest your work makes you forget yourself and, that will inevitably happen, if you feel pity for Capet.4 By toppling the House of Bourbon the Revolutionary government had sought to consign it to historical oblivion.
