Note 82 — Chapter IV · Notre Dame of Paris and Other Churches of the Capital[71]
Reading edition
Some of the modern archbishops of Paris have added to the prestige of their see. Monseigneur Affre was shot on the barricades, in 1848, when he went forth bearing a message of peace. Monseigneur Darboy was shot in prison by the Commune of 1871. Both are commemorated in side chapels of the cathedral’s choir.
