Items related to A French King at Holyrood
Synopsis
The author uses rare material from British and French sources about the French exiles in Edinburgh following the Revolution of 1789 and after the July Revolution of 1830. This is a little known chapter of Edinburgh history: how the Comte d'Artois, the youngest brother of Louis XVI, arrived in Edinburgh in 1796 and occupied the Palace of Holyrood - then a debtors' sanctuary - until at least 1803; how he was afterwards crowned King Charles X of France, abdicated in 1830, and again sought refuge at Holyrood; how he and his faithful followers interacted with the citizens of Edinburgh, and, overall, the contrasts between the splendour of Versailles and the austerity of the Canongate.
