Happy BIrthday, François!

[hanriotfran.livejournal.com]

 December 3, 1761, in Nanterre (Seine) a boy was born from Edme Hanriot (he liked to be named Pierre, I don't know why) and Marguerite Davoine.  It's pretty odd, but one of her godmothers was named Antoinette Marat! I suppose she was not related to Marat's family, since the true name of Jean Paul Marat was really "Mara" . Nevertheless, the fact is remarkable.

François Hanriot should grow up to be the Commandant General of National Guard of Paris...and to die tragically along with Robespierre, Couthon, Saint-Just, Bonbon, Fleuriot-Lescot and Payan, among others 10 THermidor 1794.  Like the others, he never lived to be an old man and have children of his own.

Happy BIrthday in Heaven, dear François! You, and your friends are always alive inside my heart.

Thanks! I've seen it a little late. But I DO liked it. And your site is great. Even I'm not a genius in Russian, I could translate most of it with online translator.

Thank you for your kind words.
I hope that someday we will be able to make a version of the site in English, too.

Salut et fraternite!

I hope so, since then it could reach much more people. And maybe it could be possible to have a little version in French too.

Salut et Fraternité!

This "not official" pic of him was sketched by the great artist Gabriel, he also sketched Hébert, Simon, Barère and other of our beloved ones.

Again..when I was posting I was meaning to write: I loved your sketch of Hanriot with the ccarde "Vive liberta"! And I'm sure he SHOULD like it, not "sould". That's nothing.

And of course it was "This is not an "official pic" or "this is a not official pic". Shame on me again.
