Death of Princess Marie Louise of Savoy

[edit]

I have removed from this article the sentence 'It was during those riots [i.e the September Massacres that he's alleged to have raped, murdered and mutilated Princess Marie Louise of Savoy, Queen Marie Antoinette's friend and lady-in-waiting.[4]' This assertion is not made in any scholarly reference work I have read. It relies solely on a non-scholarly work dating to 1908. The full text of the reference provided can be seen here https://archive.org/stream/romancesoffrench02lenouoft/romancesoffrench02lenouoft_djvu.txt

The footnotes within this source in fact indicate that a person named Hanriot took part in the September Massacres, but that this was apparently not the same Hanriot who was a revolutionary general. This piece of information therefore does not seem to be reliable or generally regarded as true.

This article has twenty paragraphs, 50 references, but very few readers; it is clear Rambling man is exaggerating. We don't need headmasters, but people that add. Like the Insurrection of May-June, the topic is extremely complicated; there is not a monograph on him. Most authors skip the subject. Taksen (talk) 23:28, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
