Source Wikipedia L'Ami du Roi is a royalist newspaper created on June 1, 1790 by Abbot Thomas Marie Royou and Galart de Montjoie. With the outbreak of the Revolution, the owners and editors of the Année littéraire, a royalist opinion magazine, decided to enter the political fray. Appearing every six days, this magazine does not have the necessary responsiveness to deal with current events. They therefore decided, around mid-1790, in concert with the printer Jean-Baptiste Crapart and the bookseller Pierre-César Briand, to create a daily newspaper entitled l'Ami du Roi, des Français, de l'Ordre, et surtout de la Vérité, by the successors of Fréron. The first issue appeared on June 1, 1790. The main editor was then Montjoie, Abbé Royou being still only a collaborator. However, on August 6, Royou left the newspaper and founded his own Ami du Roi, located at the corner of rue Saint-André and rue de l'Éperon, and whose first issue appeared on the following September 1. Shortly afterwards, Montjoie also left the editorial staff of the newspaper[1] and founded his own paper, also called l'Ami du Roi, the first issue of which also appeared on September 1[2]. From this date, three sheets, each bearing the title: l'Ami du Roi, therefore appeared concurrently. The subscribers favoring Royou's sheet, Crapart is forced to come to an agreement with Montjoie. Their two newspapers merged, and Montjoie took over the management of the new newspaper on November 6, 1790. According to Eugène Hatin, Montjoie is distinguished by "a practiced pen; his style is correct, easy, always sustained in a suitable tone. He is, says Leonard Gallois, the Brissot of royalism, of whom the Abbé Royou made himself the Marat. It could also be said that the success of his newspaper was to that of Royou what the success of the French Patriot was to that of the Friend of the People. It was a success of esteem; the other was a success of passion[3]. "In addition to benefiting from the financial support of the Court and the ministers until the flight of Louis XVI, Royou's paper is distinguished by the violence of its language and the radicalism of its positions. So she calls on officers to resign from the army. This violence and radicalism, which made Royou successful among "aristocratic" opinion, also attracted all the violence of the attacks on his person. After the shooting on the Champ-de-Mars, the research and reporting committees ordered Royou's arrest on July 22, 1791. Not having found him at home, the national guards sealed some of his papers, taking the rest, and arrested his sister, widow of Fréron, while the presses of his newspaper were broken by the anger of the insurgents. The publication of his paper was interrupted from July 23 to August 6, 1791, before being taken over by Jacques-Corentin Royou, who displayed a virulence equal to his brother. After the ratification of the Constitution of 1791, an amnesty was voted, and Abbé Royou resumed writing his newspaper. Faced with the radical nature of his attacks and his polemical positions, which were only matched by those of Marat's Friend of the People, the Legislative Assembly decreed the indictment of Marat and Royou on May 3, 1792. Although Royou escaped arrest, his newspaper disappeared a few weeks later, as his brother was reluctant to continue the enterprise. For its part, Montjoie's newspaper appeared without interruption until August 10, 1792, before disappearing with the fall of the monarchy[4]. After August 10, the Girondin Gorsas, editor of the Courrier des 83 départements, was awarded the presses of the Ami du roi.The subscribers favoring Royou's sheet, Crapart is forced to come to an agreement with Montjoie.
