Marquis of Launay, governor of the fortress of Bastille, was lynched.
On same day, Jean-François Foullon de Doué, the wildly unpopular Controller-General of Finances, was found hiding on the outskirts of Paris. After being ritualistically humiliated by a crowd of peasants, he was also beheaded. Doué was supposed to have said once during a famine that if "rascals have no bread, let them eat hay." So having killed him, the crowd filled his mouth with hay.
Doué's son-in-law, Berthier de Sauvigny, the Intendant of Paris, was also found and executed. Mobs placed all of their heads on pikes and paraded them through the streets of Paris. Launay's head is in the upper left-hand corner. There are two views of Foulon's head: one at the top in the middle, and the other in the upper right-hand corner. On the bottom, towards the left, is Sauvigny's head. On the bottom, towards the right, is Sauvigny's heart, which was carved out of his chest by the mob and placed on some kind of spit.
