The Pretended Louis XVII in Rouen Prison Discovery
A Rouen garrison general uses an officer to test the supposed Louis XVII in Rouen. The prisoner, who called himself Charles of Navarre, convinces by matching details of villages and royal figures. Madame Turpin identifies the child as Desin son, son of a wooden shoemaker Brunet, confirming the imposture. The examination ends with the prisoner claiming sovereignty and being remanded.
