French Parliament Crisis Deepens as King Resists
Paris reports reveal ongoing conflict between the Court and Parliament over Remonstrances and the return of absent counselors. The Gens du Roy are sent to Marly to seek the King’s hearing, the King refusals are cited, and resolutions urge the Parliament to resume functions while curtailing further disobedience. The scene widens with court conferences, a Bed of Justice at Versailles, and Villars pressuring the Assembly as Hanover-bound royal movements prompt coastal preparations.
