Louis XVI

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mostly comes back to one episode: the moment when the people of Paris forced Louis XVI to put on the red cap at the Tuileries12. He reads it as a collision of classes and genres34, a mixing of classes that terrifies the ruling classes5, and from which, he says, "everything becomes possible"6. He also mentions the king for his taste for manual trades: he presents him as a locksmith, in connection with the exiled aristocrats who lived from a trade they had learned78, and notes that he loved clockmaking9. Other mentions are more occasional: the popular voice that confuses him with Henri IV10, his armies ending Corsican independence11, and the reply "A riot? No, Sire, a revolution," which he takes up to mark the distance between revolt and revolution12.
