Very much a Scarlet Pimpernel interpretation.

There is little if any mention of the centuries of the sufferings of the non-noble people. Dickens' Tale of Two Cities makes the reasons for the uprising clear.

Of course the only people in Regency romances are women and men of the English nobility--plus a few servants.
