The Stolen French Crown Jewels, Part 1

In 1792, the audacious theft of the French Crown Jewels rocked Paris. Taking place in the midst of the French Revolution, the theft occurred over the span of multiple days, and saw over 90% of the royal treasury cleaned out. In this episode, we are discussing the histories and fates of 3 of these stolen stones- the Sancy, Regent, and Hortensia diamonds. Find my Patreon at www.patreon.com/ancienthistoryjewelrystories
