Notes

Jean Danry (he later adopted his father's name) was the illegitimate son of a washerwoman and impoverished nobleman who made his fame and fortune off the back of his accounts of his 35 years of imprisonment in the Bastille and other prisons.

There is an excellent account of this strange and disreputable character and how he ended up in the Bastille, in 'Rodama: a blog of 18th century & Revolutionary France', http://rodama1789.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-bastille-legendary-excape-of-latude.html
