| Yhteenveto: | On August 2nd, 1815 Marshall Brune is killed during a royalist riot. His corpse is then stolen, shot again and again and then thrown in the Rhone River by the rioters ; upon its landing in Camargue it is not given a decent and official burial. The remains are not given back to the family before two years and the definitive burial takes place in 1821, after the criminal trial of his murderers that gives the lie to the official version fabricated at the time of his death, which would have been a suicide. It seems that during the years the marshal was killed twice physically and then his memory was cleaned out of official documents, making him disappear a third time.Nathalie Petireau opens this file again, and using judiciary, administrative and military archives, she uncovers not only the events, but also the context that lead to his killing and the subsequent cover-up. She also analyses how the investigation and the trial of his murder are oriented by the power to assign all no blame on the local authorities. |
