Koblenz Emigration

    0.01 sec.
Koblenz Emigration 

the French counterrevolutionary emigration during the Great French Revolution; Koblenz (in Germany) was the main center of emigration.

In organizing conspiracies against revolutionary France, the Koblenz emigration grouped itself around Louis XVI’s brothers —the Count of Provence and the Count of Artois. With funds from the monarchs of Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden, detachments of emigrant gentry were formed in Koblenz—the “army of the princes,” commanded by the Prince of Condé— which in 1792 took part in the Austro-Prussian invasion of France. In 1794, French Republican troops captured Koblenz, thus putting an end to the Koblenz emigration.
