The Cour des Miracles

La Cour des Miracles (English: Court of Miracles) was one of the poorest, most dangerous slums in Paris by the late 18th century.

The inhabitants of the Court lived in a counter-society under a Roi des Thunes, or King of Beggars, to whom they paid tribute. By 1789, the Roi des Thunes was a minor nobleman who joined the Templar Order after assisting in its takeover by François-Thomas Germain. In January 1791, he was killed by the Assassin Arno Dorian. Following this, the Court fell under the control of the Marquis de Sade, who provided occasional assistance to the Assassins when required.

Trivia

• Accounts of the Cour des Miracles having a counter-society are believed to have been little more than literary fantasy.
