520 _aAs part of Louis XVIII's policy of rewarding old royalist loyalties, an investigation was launched in 1814 to pay veterans of Louis XVI's short-lived Constitutional Guard, those in service from January to the end of May 1792. The War Ministry and the Maison de Roi assembled individual files that constitute a valuable source for studying the engagement of the royalist army during the summer of 1792. Indeed, far from being limited to simple service records, the memoirs and justifications submitted by the veterans insist on the role that many played after their dismissal, particularly in the defense of the king on August 10, 1792. These sources are thus an opportunity to construct, in a belated and timely fashion, a retrospective “protagonisme” in which a former voluntary armed service, long kept secret to avoid revolutionary repression, becomes a certificate of royalism and loyalty to the Bourbon cause. Through what they claim - the devotion to the royal family and the violence they suffered - but also about which they prefer to keep silent - the violence inflicted - the analysis of the veterans' accounts makes it possible to approach the operational reality of the noble participation in the defense of the Tuileries.
