| Summary: | This article focuses on the arguments developed in lawsuits against individuals – both men and women – who acquired pieces of military uniforms from deserters and were prosecuted as “makers” of desertion before the prevotal court in the last three decades of the old Regime. How did they try to justify their transactions with deserters? If, for example, claiming ignorance of the illegality of their actions was a strategy commonly used by the defendants, how were their words challenged by the testimony of deserters? Through an analysis of the two versions of justification, the article also questions the reconfiguration of the relation between deserters and civilians in those years of military reform. |
