Certain rich citizens bought their lives with large sums, others were sold as slaves, or were hanged or beheaded, or were thrown into the Meuse.

"Besides this hand of mine, are there not the gentler hands of Amelie to intercede for you with your better self?" said Philibert. "My dear sister!" interjected Le Gardeur.
