    Conflict involving the Knight of Rohan and Voltaire

    Guy Auguste de Rohan-Chabot, known as the Knight of Rohan, had Voltaire beaten after a quarrel at the home of Adrienne Lecouvreur. Voltaire was later sent to the Bastille following an order associated with the duke and a request from the Cardinal of Rohan. The incident is a documented controversy involving an individual member of the family rather than a corporate scandal.
