False, The Bastille was a fortress in Paris, known formally as the Bastille Saint-Antoine. It played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison by the kings of France.

The Bastille

The answer is False.

The Bastille was a strong prison. It represented the kings power. The Bastille never housed royalty.
