The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, focusing on the experiences of royalist supporters in the Vendée region. It centers upon characters such as M. de Lescure and Henri de Larochejaquelin, who are deeply embroiled in the conflict as they seek to restore the monarchy amidst the chaos of revolutionary fervor. The opening of "La Vendée" presents the dire state of France in 1792, detailing the aftermath of the King’s overthrow and the rising revolutionary sentiments in Paris. We meet a group of royalist youths, known as the Poitevins, who gather in support of their imprisoned King Louis XVI and strive to organize resistance against the republicans. Notably, M. de Lescure is introduced as a compassionate yet brave leader, alongside the impetuous Henri de Larochejaquelin, who is driven by a passionate loyalty to the monarchy. Tensions are palpable as royalists react to increasingly oppressive sentiments, and the chapter culminates in the urgency felt by these young men to act in their King’s defense, setting the stage for the impending civil conflict in the Vendée.
