The Basilica of Saint-Denis, on the outskirts of Paris, had been the place that almost every King of France from the 10th century had been burried, the place where France’s queens were crowned, and was where the sword and the sceptre that were used for coronations was held. During the French Revolution, it was ordered by the National Convention to destroy any and all signs of feudalism, as well as noble and royal tombs in all buildings in the entire Republic. #cathedral #frenchrevolution #history #historytime #historytok #historybuff #historytiktok #assasinscreed #assasinscreedunity #marieantoinette #louisxvi #louisiv #versailles
