	According to legend, the bishop [[Saint Denis of Paris\|Denis]] of Paris was beheaded and martyred sometime during the 3rd century.

	According to legend, the ~~[[Scholar\|~~bishop]] [[Saint Denis of Paris\|Denis]] of Paris was beheaded and martyred sometime during the 3rd century.

	After his death, Denis would become a saint and patron of the newly-formed town of Saint-Denis, built atop the site of his alleged final resting place.

	Over time, Saint-Denis would flourish due to its influential [[Basilica of Saint-Denis\|church]] and [[Abbey of Saint-Denis\|abbey]], populated by abbots such as [[Suger of Saint-Denis\|Suger]] who were advisors to the monarchy.

	However, the rise of anti-royalist sentiment during the French Revolution led to the [[National Convention]] ordering the destruction of the church's royal necropolis in 1793. Citizens of the time were traumatized to see the bodies of the kings, along with their buried relics, simply tossed out in the street by revolutionaries. By 1794, Saint-Denis, having been renamed Franciade, had adopted the atmosphere of a ghost town.<ref name="DK" />		However, the rise of anti-royalist sentiment during the French Revolution led to the [[National Convention]] ordering the destruction of the church's royal necropolis in 1793.
