The Insurrection of August Tenth - The Death of the King

After the insurrection of august tenth, louis and his family had been transferred to the temple. Though he was mostly well treated, his guards were encouraged to treat him with studious contempt. A committee began a preliminary survey of the king's papers. They quickly found evidence that louis had not only been in regular contact with the emigres, but that he had sent them money to bootThe bulk of the work of sifting through the papers would be left for the coming national convention.
