TRUTH !!
Hubert was a French watchmaker who made numerous false confessions
concerning the fire, changing his story each time his previous confession
was proved to be false. It's unknown why he made the confessions but mental
simplicity and torture have been offered as explanations. What is known for
sure is that a scapegoat was needed after the fire and Hubert filled this
role when he was hanged on 28 September 1666. No one knows for sure who or
what actually started the fire.
