The October Days and the Civil Constitution of the Clergy
Captions available
The idea
The anchor says women forcibly moved the royal family from Versailles to Paris; the witness names the March on Versailles of October fifth, seventeen eighty-nine, over bread. The anchor omits the Civil Constitution of the Clergy of July seventeen ninety, which made priests state employees.
In practice
The king in Paris; the church under the state.
Where people slip
Both names rest on the witness texts.
