    Red/blue colours + 19th century costumes + Athelstan's nationality = The Norwegian Constituent Assembly of 1814, which is considered the first step towards independence, although that French traitor cut the attempt short.

    Aye, though we still got us our Constitution! Got our domestic affairs in order, and then finally in 1905 we were allowed to think for ourselves. Most of us still don't, but now we're at least legally responsible for our own actions...

    The French National Assembly. I think this is them breaking off from the Estates General.

    Exactly, it's the opening session of the General Estates! The painter included several famous personalities, like Robespierre, Mirabeau and Michel Gérard (probably the only guy without a wig), the only peasant that participated in the event.
