On March 28, 1792, the Legislative Assembly issued an amnesty for all crimes and misdemeanors related to the French Revolution that had occurred in Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin before November 8, 1791, the date of the proclamation of the attachment of the former Papal States to France. This controversial decision gave judges the opportunity to consign the Glacière massacre perpetrated in October 1791 to legal oblivion. The perpetrators of these crimes, finally freed, benefited from an ambiguous and almost embarrassing clemency. It is precisely the approach adopted by the Legislative Assembly to grant this amnesty, and the procedure followed by the judges to confirm its application to individuals detained for having participated in the Glacière massacre that this article will be examining. It aims to shed light not only on a special use of amnesty measures, but in a larger way to contribute to the understanding of the period corresponding to the last months of the French monarchy.
