In October, 1789 the French Revolution hung in the balance. There was a stand-off between the Constituent Assembly and King Louis XVI at Versailles about who had ultimate authority. Then a large mob led by women tipped the balance against the king. The people of Paris had just received the frightening news that king had summoned additional troops to Versailles. It looked as though he was preparing to crush the Assembly that was meeting there by force and restore his absolute rule. In the meantime, in Paris, terrible bread shortages in the city drove many women from poorer districts to the extremity of assembling at City Hall to demand the distribution of bread supplies. Some 6,000 women then decided to march armed with pikes to Versailles, 20 miles away, to ask the King and the Assembly directly. As one woman said on the march, before she was hushed by the others, "we'll bring back the Queen's head on the end of a sword!" As they began their march, they were joined by hundreds of men, and regiments of the National Guard, the Paris militia, commanded by Marquis de Lafayette, George Washington's old friend and ally.
