Written in 1836, this collaborative play is based on a real-life
incident, using the actual names of the principals involved. The
young Marquis de Brunoy is snubbed at the French Royal Court of
Versailles because his father, a financier, had been ennobled for
his great wealth. After having to fight several duels to defend his
honor, the Marquis strikes back by disregarding his rank and
wealth, and associating with peasants and artisans as equals. The
more extravagant that his behavior becomes, the more the French
nobility feels ridiculed. The final straw is when the Marquis dares
to ennoble some of his peasants. Then he's hauled before a court,
where the noblemen seek to have him judged insane. A first-rate
revenge play by a master of the form.
