Literature	Barricade (3 syl.) To block up. The term rose in France in 1588, when Henri de Guise returned to Paris in defiance of the king's order. The king sent for his Swiss Guards, and the Parisians tore up the pavement, threw chains across the streets, and piled up barrels filled with earth and stones, behind which they shot down the Swiss as they passed through the streets. The French for barrel is barrique, and to barricade is to stop up the streets with these barrels. The day of the Barricades: (1) May 12th, 1588, when the people forced Henri III to flee from Paris. (2) August 5th, 1648, the beginning of the Fronde War. (3) July 27th, 1830, the first day of le grand semain which drove Charles X, from the throne.
