The uprising in Vandea 1832, or the adventure of the Duchess of Berrian

Events of the Vandadeian War of 1793–1796. They are deeply studied in French historiography, but they are still the subject of serious not only scientific, but also ideological disputes. The word Vandeus over time became a household name, turning into a symbol of the opposition of the French revolution. For Vandei itself, the war has become a system -forming event, and the region still lives in memories of it, building its own identity on its basis. During the “hundred days”, the “second edition” of Vandei happened. The July Revolution of 1830 and the coming to the power of King Louis Filippa of Orleans again turned Vandeus into a bet in a political game. The rebellion doomed to the failure in Vandea in 1832 (or the fifth Vandadeian war on May 24-June 12, 1832) went down in history and acquired a romantic Fleur to a large extent due to the participation of the Duchess of Maria Carolina Berrian.
Revolution, murder, “wonderful child”, uprising, treason, forbidden love, secret marriage, tragedy and farce, epic and vaudeville - in the life of this princess there were all the elements of a romantic drama worthy of the pen of Alexander Dumas, and she was a prototype The heroines of his works.
The personality of Maria-Carolina Berrian, thanks to the epic with an uprising in Vandea 1832, has already become legendary during his life, and Vandeus remains a myth to this day
