Database: The Feuillants

Like almost every political faction in the National Assembly, the Feuillants were an offshoot of the revolutionary Jacobins. However, the Feuillants opposed the complete destruction of the monarchy and hoped to negotiate shared power between the King and the Assembly. Their influence was completely undercut by the attempted escape of Louis XVI and his family in the flight to Varennes.
