10th of August 1792: Armed revolutionaries storm the Tuileries Palace in Paris. The King's Swiss Guards fought back but were overwhelmed, suffering hundreds of casualties. The King was forced to flee to the Legislative Assembly. The monarchy was abolished six weeks later, and the French Republic was proclaimed the following day.
This is an anonymously-written but well-known song of the French Revolution, first sung in 1792. Its name from the carmagnole jacket commonly worn by Sans-Culottes (a group of extremely radical revolutionaries from the lower classes). This song was accompanied by a frenzied dance which was partially derived from the folk dances of Piedmont in north-western Italy. It is known to be have been sung by the revolutionaries after the storming of the Tuileries, and by the Sans-Culotte militia at the Battle of Jemappes alongside La Marseillaise. Occasionally, captured enemies of the revolution were forced to perform the dance.
