Insurrection In Paris August: His interests, however, were not in trade, and his views upon political economy and the great problems of government brought him into the ranks of the philosophers of his day. In 1780 he married Jeanne Manon Phlipon, whose share in the Revolution was even greater than his own. He joined the Girondists and became minister of the interior (see GIRONDIST). This position he held from March until June 1792, when the Girondists were forced to retire. After the insurrection in Paris August 10, Roland was recalled, but the Jacobin of Shakespeare.
In January of the following year he was imprisoned on a charge of inciting to insurrection. After the fall of the empire he became a member of the provisional government of national defense, but, out of sympathy with it, he inclined toward the radical element that produced the Commune of Paris. In May 1871, Rochefort fled from Paris, but he was captured and sentenced by a court-martial to deportation.
Although in October, Buckingham stirred up an insurrection against Richard in Wales and in the southern counties, the movement collapsed, and Buckingham was executed. Early in August 1485, Henry, earl of Richmond, the Lancastrian claimant to the throne, landed in England. In a battle at Bosworth Field (near Market Bosworth) on August 22, his forces killed Richard and defeated his army, and Richmond was immediately acknowledged as the new king (Henry VII). |
