The French Revolution

That afternoon Louis XVI returned to Versailles from a day's hunting and entered a note into his diary:

“July 14: Nothing.”

Then the Duc de la Rochefoucauld-Liancourt arriving from Paris told him about the successful assault on the Bastille.

"Why!" exclaimed the king. "This is a revolt!" "No, Sire," said the Duke. "It is a revolution!"
