"... the surprise attack by troops sent by Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy during the night of 11–12 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)
