Les Actes des Apôtres
Les Actes des Apôtres (English: The Acts of the Apostles) was a French royalist newspaper created in 1789 and dissolved in 1791, whose columnists vehemently defended the monarchy and criticized the institutions of the French Revolution.
History[edit | edit source]
In the early 1790s, the faction's conviction often manifested in acts of extremism on the streets of Paris, such as the mass burning of religious manuscripts,[1] or the harassment of former royalists.[2] Their crimes eventually brought them into conflict with the Café Théâtre, a commercial front managed by the Assassins, because of the Apôtres' opposition to theatrical performances and satire.[3]
The Assassin Arno Dorian foiled many of the group's plans on separate occasions; he saved manuscripts from fire,[1] protected the royal dressmaker Rose Bertin,[2] and recovered the stolen Sancy diamond, which the Apôtres intended to sell to finance their operations.[4] Finally, he tracked down and assassinated the group's leader, Renard, ending the Apôtres' criminal activities.[5]
