Remains of French royalty desecrated in Revolution era chaos
Historic accounts describe posthumous handling of royalty remains during the French Revolution. Bodies were looted, disfigured, and moved between sites like the Jardin des Plantes and the Invalides, with gruesome scenes of mobs and orgiastic vandalism. Coffins yielded relics and scents, some embalmed in lead and others burned or smashed, amid proposals to destroy the church itself.
