King Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette had lots of money and power in France. The clergy and the nobles (in the first and second Estate) also had lots of money and power.
The Third Estate was made up of the Middle Class, Sans-Culottes and Peasants. They had very little money, no land, and no power. They made up 97% of the population. In June 1789, the National Assembly was formed at a tennis court. Many people thought life would improve.
1788 was a bad year for weather. There had been a massive hail storm that destroyed crops all over France. Followed by one of the coldest winters, after that there was no rain at all and everything was dried out. In the end there was flooding that ruined the farmland.
This meant that many of the third Estate began to revolt as there were rumours that the First and Second Estate were hoarding bread too. This made people very angry.
On 5th October 1788 there was a woman's march on the Palace of Versailles. They were called the poissardes which roughly translates to the fish ladies because they were muscular women who sold fish.
What a wonderful life we have Marie!
I hope life will improve after the creation of the National Assembly.
No! Our crops! We have to get back inside now!
WE WANT MORE!
