	Conspiracy Obsession in a Time of Revolution
		Fears of conspiracy among high officials continued in evidence through the fall, notably when the loyalty of several royal ministers came into question and when an emigrant plot to launch a major insurrection in the southeast was uncovered—and then detailed for the members in a report from the Jacobins' affiliate in Lyons.
		To some extent, the radical left's obsession with conspiracies arose from a deeply held sentiment that their version of democratic egalitarianism was profoundly true and right—an ideological commitment that contrasted sharply with the pragmatism of the majority of the patriot deputies.
		On the other hand, the evidence is conclusive that conspiracy fears had become widespread among the political elites by the fall of 1791, well before the coming of the war and the threats of invasion, thus invalidating the explanation proposed by an older generation of historians.

		They certainly were that by the end of the wars, but a growing body of evidence suggests that in the years 1559-62, they were not the most ardent noble advocates of the harsh repression of heresy, and even at certain moments sought to define a compromise middle ground between Calvinism and strict Tridentine Catholic orthodoxy.
		After the failure of the Conspiracy of Amboise, it was essential for the Protestants to defend themselves against the charge of having sought to kidnap or even kill the king.
		This they could best do by presenting their conspiracy as having been directed against the king's evil advisors, whom they depicted in tracts such as the notorious "Tigre de France" as monsters of depravity and ambition.

		This is one reason why the chateau feels haunted and forlorn -- another is the fact that most of its interior furnishings have been lost.
