The royal family is confined in the Temple from August 1792 as a completed detention

Separation of the son in 1793 is a later day. Lived 1755–1793; queen consort from 1774. In the causal graph this event strengthens Judicial independence erosion (court capture), a driver that strengthens Rule of Law Gap from the Highest Governance Score — a worsening welfare path.

Read the full account

Revolutionary officers share the custody. This is not yet the Conciergerie.

Context

A political detention without the later tribunal verdict is already a justice path. Separation of the son in 1793 is a later day.

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

A completed extra-ordinary detention of a deposed consort is a justice path. It is not a modern remand statistic.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

What the sources establish

Britannica and later prison-and-city pages print mid-August 1792 as the transfer to the Temple.

Britannica and French archival catalogues independently describe Temple imprisonment.

Established: August 1792 Temple confinement as calendared. Not established: every later memoir as stenograph.

Marie-Antoinette did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act.
