THE ATTACK ON V E R S A I L L E S
Rumours circulated around the palace, news that the Dutch was almost among the French. The large gates of the palace were now closed, restricting all traveling to become a minimum. The battlefield was only a few miles away from court, and the nobles was beginning to worry. With the comforting of King Louis, it was insured that the royal and noble families will be unharmed. With no knowledge, he did not know the Dutch had a thing or two up their sleeves.
It was a cold winter night, and everyone was sleeping soundly in their warm beds. A group of men, reaching almost to thirty men, snuck through the highly guarded gates of the palace. Their goal was to take anyone, maybe everyone as a war hostage in hopes to have France surrender, as all the families at the palace were of importance. The group paired up, traveling to different corrondors of the palace and barg into the apartments of the nobility, taking and harming whoever they can get their hands on. Dragging them through the halls by their hair and threatening them of death if they were to scream.
But that didn’t work, room by room there was screaming, there was fear. Survants and guards were killed if they tried to interfere. But there was few that was able to escape, few apartments with locked doors, unable for the Dutch to get in, were left trapped and scared if the Dutch somehow figured to pass through the locked doors. Some nobles were able to gather together and fight back the guards, but there was women and children. Not everyone was experienced as a blood-thirsty solider like the Dutch.
