On October 6, a mob from Paris descended on Versailles, demanding blood. They stormed the palace, trying to find the private chambers of Marie Antoinette. But more shocking than a mob forcing their way through the royal gates was the member of the group rumored to be in their midsts: Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orleans, and a prince of the blood. A cousin of Louis XVI, he became a folk hero of the revolution. But did he actually believe in what the revolutionaries stood for, or was he merely serving his own best interests? In the end, he would be forced to make a choice and pick a side, a decision that would cost more than his title.
