After Me the Deluge Phrase at Rossbach Defeat
The article recounts Louis XV ascribing the phrase apres nous le deluge after learning of the 1757 Rossbach victory by Frederick the Great. It notes the king’s despondency, Mme de Pompadour’s remark urging resilience, and later attributions by Beuve and Pierre Carouasse about authorship of the motto. It places events in the context of France’s weakened state.
