History
Montréjeau was the site of one of the French Revolution's last pitched battles between republicans and royalists. In the summer of 1799, anti-revolutionary insurrection broke out in the Haute-Garonne. For a brief time it flourished, even threatening the city of Toulouse. The Directory reacted swiftly, ordering in troops which decisively defeated the rebels at Montréjeau on 1 Fructidor Year VII (18 August 1799).[2]

gollark: I know, right?
gollark: The obvious approach would just be to make a backup of the database each round and operate on that.
gollark: And DELETEs and INSERTs.
gollark: It isn't. But I actually forgot about that and assumed you just wanted to stop UPDATEs.
gollark: I think the SQLite3 Python API has a thing for this.
