The Revolution
In the early days of the Revolution there were rumours
that the rioters were being paid to riot.
Rumours abounded that the super rich Duc D'Orleans was financing the unrest or was it agents of the British Government?
Somehow... with the bloody course of events and the execution of the King and Queen... I cant think that the British Monarchy took any pleasure in seeing the sufferings of Marie Antoinette and the demise of the French Monarchy... they must have feared a similar movement taking hold in Britain.
No doubt in trade and finance Britain pulled ahead of France in those years but Im sure everyone was horrified to read in their papers and news sheets the endless accounts of riot , violence and bloody execution taking place in Paris.
