Madame et messieurs, my name is Antoine Fouquier-Tanvilla of the public prosecution.
These 16 women are today arraigned before a judge and a revolutionary tribunal.
In accordance with the law, no legal assistance is permitted for the defense.
Madams, you are charged with religious fanaticism and conspiring against the state.
How do you plead?
Fanaticism?
Oui, madame.
It should be perfectly obvious what I mean by the word.
You are accused of conspiring against the state by hiding weapons in your convent that were intended for traitors who had left France.
An altar furnishing was found that is shaped like a royal cloak, indicating your attachment to the monarchy and, therefore, Louis XVI and his family.
You have corresponded with those who have fled from France and sent them money.
You are forgetting the second charge of fanaticism, madame.
I don't think he knows what it means.
Don't be absurd.
I mean by it your attachment to childish beliefs and your silly religious practices.
You are criminals and annihilators of public freedom.
Quiet, madame.
I've heard enough.
