In November 1792 an iron wallsafe or armoire de fer was discovered hidden within a wall in the Tulieries palace It contained secret correspondence which Louis XVI had kept from the outbreak of the Revolution until he overthrew on 10 August The discovery of the armoire de fer gravely compromised the cause of the King who was awaiting trial and who would be executed on 21 January 1793 Much cited by historians of every viewpoint writing on the Revolution the actual contents of the armoire are often misrepresented and remain surprisingly littleknownIn this fresh and innovatory study Andrew Freeman provides a cool and dispassionate survey of the contents of the armoire de fer and finds contents which throw new light on the mentality of Louis XVI The King emerges as a more thoughtful and perspective critic of the discovery of the armoire in the political context of 1792 and shows that the secrecy which the existence of such a cache of documents represented was perhaps more damaging than their actual content The volume contains a representative sample of documents culled directly from the contents of the armoire Many of these have never been published before and all are available in English translation for the first time

A thoughtprovoking authoritative biography of one of historys most maligned rulers Louis XVI of France who was guillotined in 1793 during the Revolution and Reign of Terror is commonly portrayed in fiction and film either as a weak and stupid despot in thrall to his beautiful shallow wife Marie Antoinette or as a cruel and treasonous tyrant Historian John Hardman disputes both these versions in a fascinating new biography of the illfated monarch Based in part on new scholarship that has emerged over the past two decades Hardmans illuminating study describes a highly educated ruler who though indecisive possessed sharp political insight andnbspa talent for foreign policy who often saw the dangers ahead but could not or would not prevent them and whose great misfortune was to be caught in the violent center of a major turning point in history Hardmans dramatic reassessment of the reign of Louis XVI sheds a bold new light on the man his actions his world and his policies including the kings support for Americas War of Independence the intricate workings of his court the disastrous Diamond Necklace Affair and Louiss famous dash to Varennes
