LUCILE DESMOULINS and General Dillon were tried for conspiracy and executed on 24 Germinal. Maximilien Robespierre was executed without trial on 10 Thermidor, 28 July old style. So was his brother Augustin, so was Antoine Saint-Just, so was Couthon. Philippe Lebas shot himself.
Louise Danton married Claude Dupin, and became a baroness under the Empire.
Anne Théroigne died in 1817, in the prison-asylum of La Salpêtrière.
Charlotte Robespierre, who never married, was given a small pension by Napoleon. Eléonore remained ‘the widow Robespierre’. Maximilien’s father – as it turned out – had died in Munich in 1777.
Legendre died in 1795. Robert Lindet survived and prospered. Danton’s sons returned to his province and farmed their land.
Stanislas Fréron deserted the cause. After Robespierre’s fall, he persecuted Jacobins, leading gangs of vandals and gallants through the streets. He died in Haiti, in 1802.
Both Jean-Nicolas Desmoulins and Claude Duplessis died within a few months of Robespierre’s fall. Camille’s child was brought up by Annette and Adèle Duplessis. He attended the former Collège Louis-le-Grand, and was called to the Paris Bar. He died, also in Haiti, at the same age as his father. Adèle Duplessis died in Vervins, Picardy, in 1854.
