“…153 Such was especially the case at a time of Chartist danger, when popular politics were being represented as a dangerous and emotional social pathology. 154 With later attempts, reports of public responses and the content of addresses reflect a less rich emotional register. Any initial accounts of unrestrained fury or thrills of terror were absent or quickly transformed into the morally acceptable form of anger, indignation, which went on to characterize subsequent discussion and addresses.…”

Attempted assassinations have only rarely been given sustained and systematic attention by historians. This article focuses on a series of attempts to assassinate members of the British royal family across the nineteenth century. In exploring the responses of political elites and wider publics to these attacks, the author argues for the development of a robust and enduring script with which to navigate physical attacks on the sovereign and his or her family. Overall, this script tended to support the monarchy by articulating visions of the proper relationship between crown and people and contrasting these with political regimes in Europe and elsewhere. It also, however, served to highlight some of the key tensions within a modernizing institution between accessibility and publicity on the one hand and security on the other.
