Later studies and encyclopedia lives print Count Axel von Fersen as a documented helper in the Varennes logistics and as a correspondent. This catalog does not upgrade disputed intimacy into a sexual Fact. Pamphlet eroticisation is image, stored as polarisation, not as verification.
Context
Split from the coach row’s pure escape mechanics only insofar as the named foreign count became a public heading.
Marie-Antoinette’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.
Lived 1755–1793; queen consort from 1774. Cake is a later slogan, not a sourced utterance. The Diamond Necklace is allegation and image. Fiscal crisis is not stored as her unique coefficient. Complex contribution is required.
Why it matters

What the sources establish
Britannica and Versailles independently name Fersen in the flight neighbourhood while leaving private intimacy disputed.
Established: Fersen as a named logistical associate in the received file. Not established: a private sexual series.
Marie-Antoinette did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act.
