Skuy argues that the Royalist Reaction was the product of two divergent forces: historical echoes of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire and the psychological consequences of the assassination and the miracle child. Skuy discusses Restoration political theory and the development of modern political parties. He follows the strategems of anti-royalist extremists plotting to overthrow the Bourbon regime, and details the complexities and intrigues that characterized the royal court and parliament. Skuy reveals how the assassination and the birth of the miracle child triggered a popular Royalist Reaction that changed millions of French citizens from passive observers into ardent royalists. 606 $aHISTORY / Europe / France$2bisacsh 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yRestoration, 1814-1830 607 $aFrance$xPolitics and government$y1814-1830 607 $aFrance$xKings and rulers$xSuccession 615 7$aHISTORY / Europe / France. 676 $a944.06/1 700 $aSkuy$b David$f1963-$01703237 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822124803321 996 $aAssassination, politics and miracles$94088293 997 $aUNINA
