Solemn Thanksgiving for Victory and Turmoil in 1653
Reports from Paris describe a day of thanksgiving for a sea victory over the Dutch, with further notes of royal hunting misadventure near St Germain. The king escaped injury while a wounded boar rampaged in the forest. News arrives of a rumored second revolt in Catalonia, Dutch pressures at Cadillac, and preoccupation with scarce provisions as violence and unrest rise within and beyond the city.
