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.

citation needed edit

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
