| Notes |
Scandalous literature had a singular influence in destabilizing the privileged status of the nobility, monarchy, and Catholic Church in France during the 18th century leading up to the French Revolution in 1789. The L'Ordre de Malthe dévoilé, attributed to Carlo Carasi, details the misadventures, scandalous behavior, and exploitation of wealth by Knights and Chaplains of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem in Malta and France. The portrayal of the Knights as being unworthy of their religious status justified the revolutionaries’ desire to seize their property for the new nation and expel the Order from France. |
