Von April bis Mai 1726 verbringt Voltaire aufgrund eines lettre de cachet vier Wochen in der Bastille. Ein Streit mit dem jungen Chevalier de Rohan hatte den Adligen veranlasst, Voltaire in eine Falle zu locken, ihn von seinen Dienern verprügeln und sodann aufgrund eines (von Adligen leicht zu erwerbenden) lettre de cachet in die Bastille werfen zu lassen.

:"Fearing an indefinite prison sentence, Voltaire suggested that he be exiled to England as an alternative punishment, which the French authorities accepted. This incident marked the beginning of Voltaire's attempts to reform the French judicial system. From 1726 to 1728 he lodged in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden. His exile lasted nearly three years, and his experiences there greatly influenced his thinking. He was intrigued by Britain's constitutional (in contrast to the French absolute) monarchy, and by the country's support of the freedoms of speech and religion."
