On 13 August, Louis XVI and his family arrive at the Temple, a fortress and prison, where they would remain as prisoners. With the King deposed and Danton serving as Justice Minister, Camille Desmoulins thinks everything is over and they can finally rest, but Robespierre overrules this by pointing out it could only be the beginning. Lafayette then is forced to step down from his position as commander of the Army of the North and taken prisoner by the Allies. As Prussian forces advance closer to Paris, desperate measures are taken by Danton and his associates. Death warrants are issued, with many thronging the steps pleading for Danton to spare a relative, or a friend. Meanwhile, Prussian troops ransack cities and continue to annihilate the French armies in the field. The September Massacres slaughter thousands of nobles and anyone suspected of loyalty to the monarchy. Not even Marie Antoinette's lady-in-waiting, the Princesse de Lamballe, is spared. On 20 September, French Revolutionary forces are victorious over the Prussians at the Battle of Valmy, and celebrations ring out in the National Assembly.
