Overview

This is Volume 3 of the original documents and proceedings from the trial of Robert-François Damiens, both in the Provost Court and in the Parliament Court. Damiens (1715-1757) was accused of attempting to assassinate King Louis XV of France in 1757. This volume offers a detailed look at the legal processes and evidence presented during the trial, providing invaluable insight into the legal and social climate of 18th-century France. The documents shed light on the accusations, testimonies, and procedures surrounding one of the most notorious cases of attempted regicide in French history. A crucial resource for historians and legal scholars, this collection offers a rare glimpse into the judicial system of the Ancien RÃ(c)gime and the mindset of a man accused of attacking the King.
