"... the surprise attack by troops sent by Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy during the night of 11â€“12 December 1602....The Royaume family lived just above the La Monnaie town gate. The heavy cauldron of boiling soup landed on the head of a Savoyard attacker, killing him." L'Escalade_Wikimedia

What a way to go!

WOW! It's not just a rainy day or a B/W picture! I can read a name on a building on the right "Mere Royaume".

There is a Genevese legend about Catherine Cheynel (Mere Royaume) who seized a large cauldron of hot soup and poured it on the attackers. (The story of L'Escalade)
