(1791) & the initial imprisonment of the French Royal Family at the

Dutch --

How much detail would you like?  There's some information about what
happened to her in August/September, 1792 but before I go jumping into
French language pages, I'd like to know if there's something specific
that you're seeking (date of death; children; emigration; etc.)

Best regards,

In a a hope to clarify , i know of her employment from 1789 but not
her maiden name ,date of appointment .I know of her internent both at
the Temple & possibly briefly in the prison of La Force. I`d like to
know more of her -her fate especially but info of her life & family
etc would also give more depth .

Thank you for replying in the meantime.

Madame Thibaut escaped from France to Belgium ahead of the King and
Queen in late May or early June of 1791, only to return to Marie
Antoinette's side by 1792.  Sometime after Aug. 13, 1792, when the
French royal family was taken to the Temple (the former headquarters
of the Knights Templar in Paris), Thibaut and other assistants to the
Queen were forbidden to return:

Where they went, what happened to them is not apparent on the Internet.

In this search strategy I started with the following but had to narrow
it down because it turned up thousands of pages:
Thibaut French revolution

Revised, it was:
Thibaut "French revolution" Antoinette

Google search strategy in French isn't any more useful than in
English, turning up 27 sites that are really off the subject:
Thibaut Révolution francaise site:.fr

Part of the complexity here may be due to variations in the spelling
of the surname Thibaut:

And part of it may be due to the fact that many historic documents
haven't made it to the Internet yet, being only available in a good
French history library.  I had high hopes when starting this search
because the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution resulted in
lots of new books being published in France, but alas this is the best
that I could find.

Thanks `Omnivorous` for attempting the search anyway .I will use
`google` for other historic related questions & continue to hope for
some further replies or info what became of her coming to light .
