Burning Room

A burning Chambre was a court of justice invested of an extraordinary capacity to consider facts exceptional. The room of the audiences was tended of black and was lit by torches, even of day.

Such were:

  • commission set up in each Parliament by François I {{er}}, in 1535, to punish the heretics;
  • extraordinary commission named in 1680 by Louis XIV to judge the Marchioness of Brinvilliers, the Close, the Vigorous, the Italian Exili, and who was also called Cour of the poisons;
  • the room which, in 1716, under the Regency, audited the accounts of the farmer general: the latter was also named Chambre of the visa.
