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

Date: 1792

## The fact

Britannica and later prison-and-city pages print mid-August 1792 as the transfer to the Temple. Revolutionary officers share the custody. This is not yet the Conciergerie.

It is one event.

## 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](/people/marie-antoinette)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Lived 1755–1793; queen consort from 1774. Household officers, Austrian diplomats, the king, and later Revolutionary clerks share the file. 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.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and French archival catalogues independently describe Temple imprisonment.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Marie-Antoinette (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marie-Antoinette-queen-of-France; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

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

## What is established and what is not

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

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Marie-Antoinette.

They are not a public rating.

Marie-Antoinette did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not merge with 1 August 1793. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Marie-Antoinette.
