born Aug. 25, 1767, Decize, France

French Revolutionary leader.
In support of the French Revolution, he wrote the radical
Esprit de la révolution et de la constitution de France (1791) and was elected to the
National Convention in 1792. A close associate of Maximilien Robespierre and a member of the
Committee of Public Safety, he was elected president of the Convention in 1793 and sponsored the Ventôse (
March) Decrees, which confiscated property of the Revolution's enemies and redistributed it to the poor. He led the victorious attack against the Austrians at Fleurus (in modern Belgium). A fanatical leader of the
Reign of Terror, he was arrested in the
Thermidorian Reaction and guillotined.
