Bastille (English spelling)

Japanese: バスティーユ(英語表記)Bastille
Bastille (English spelling)
A fortress built at the Porte Saint-Antoine in Paris between 1370 and 1382 by order of King Charles V of France. Originally a fortress to defend Paris against attacks by England, it was used as a prison for criminals of state crimes during the time of Richelieu, and became a symbol of the king's absolutist power. The direct trigger for the Parisian people to rise up in revolt and seize the Bastille on July 14, 1789, was the gathering of troops in Paris and the dismissal of J. Necker, which marked the beginning of the French Revolution. It was demolished in 1390 and turned into a square.

フランス王シャルル5世の命令で,1370~82年パリのサンタントアーヌ門に建設された城塞。元来イングランドの攻撃からパリを防衛するための要塞であったが,リシュリューの時代になって国事犯の牢獄として使用されるにいたり,国王の絶対主義権力の象徴となった。パリへの軍隊集結と J.ネッケルの罷免とが直接の契機になって,1789年7月 14日パリ民衆は蜂起しバスティーユを占領したが,それがフランス革命の出発点となった。 90年取りこわされ広場になった。
