Summary "Chronique du crime et de l'innocence, tome 1/8" by J.-B.-J. Champagnac is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work compiles some of the most tragic events in French history, detailing crimes such as poisonings, murders, and massacres from the beginning of the French monarchy to contemporary times, arranged chronologically. Through grim narratives, the author seeks to illuminate the repetitive patterns of human cruelty while addressing the societal obsession with such horrors. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the concept and purpose of the chronicle, revealing that it will chronicle heinous acts across French history, illustrating the depths of human depravity. It begins with an overview of notable figures from early French monarchy, such as the ruthless queens, Frédégonde and Brunehaut, whose actions exemplify the era's violence and the struggle for power. The narrative describes their Machiavellian schemes and conflicts, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the darker aspects of human nature throughout the following volumes.
