Having been declared insane, Whyte was moved from a hospital to the Bastille in Paris in 1784. He grew a long beard and believed himself to be Julius Caesar, speaking in Latin.
On 14 1789, the Storming of the Bastille took place, and Whyte was freed by the protesters. Within a week however, he was sent to the Charenton insane asylum.
