Hello!
I've been conducting some research into the early days of the French Reign of Terror. Naturally one of the harbingers of this time would be the trial of Louis XVI.
However, I've been frustrated with a lack of texts concerning the trial itself. Inevitably most general texts of the Revolution will discuss brief outlines, though very few that I've found have gone into depth with the actual make-up of the trial, the arguments, the speeches, the procedure, etc.
Any recommendations for further reading on this topic?
Hi there anyone interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on /r/AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy, or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
