Giuseppe Fieschi

Japanese: フィエスキ（英語表記）Giuseppe Fieschi

1790‐1836
He was the mastermind behind the attempted assassination of King Louis Philippe of France (1835). Born in Corsica, he served as a soldier in the Neapolitan army, but was charged with fraud and theft and fled to Paris in 1830. Around 1834, he came into contact with underground republicans, and under their influence, he plotted to assassinate the king. He constructed a device that would simultaneously fire 24 guns, and on July 28, 1835, he opened fire on Louis Philippe and his party as they were heading to a military parade on Bastille Day. Dozens were killed and injured, but the king himself escaped unscathed. This incident led to the expansion of the felony courts and the strengthening of the censorship of newspapers and other media (the September Laws). This repression, which followed the Societies Law of the previous year, forced the republican movement to shift to a focus on secret societies.

1790‐1836
フランス国王ルイ･フィリップ暗殺未遂事件(1835)の主謀者。コルシカ生れ。ナポリ軍兵士であったが，詐欺･窃盗により公訴され，1830年，パリに逃れる。34年ごろより，地下活動にある共和主義者と接触し，その影響下，国王暗殺を企てて，24挺の銃を同時に作動させる装置を作製し，7月28日，七月革命記念日に閲兵に向かうルイ･フィリップ一行に発砲した。死傷者は数十名に達したが，国王自身は難をまぬがれた。これを契機に重罪裁判所の拡大，新聞等検閲制度の強化(九月法)がなされ，前年の結社法に引き続くこの弾圧により，以後共和派の運動は秘密結社を中心とするものに転換せざるをえなくなった。
