Antoine and Henriette

[la-muse-venale6.livejournal.com]

Some time ago, I purchased a book in Spanish that has Saint-Just's discourses on it. The title is "Discursos: Dialéctica de la Revolución, Saint-Just". It was published in 1970, I bought it in a second-hand bookstore in Barcelona.
I am curious about a thing: The book has a little chronology about SJ life by the end. It says that Antoine married Henriette LeBas in October (it doesn't say a thing about the day) from the year 1793 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
I mean, I thought that they were engaged, but that they didn't marry at all! In fact, I have read that Antoine broke the compromise. :S
It's possible that the author didn't have too much information about his life, but I'm curious to see what do you think about it.
Any comments?

That's just... incorrect. And strange. I've never seen any source that says so before. As for primary sources, forget it. Not even a memoir, still less a marriage certificate.

...All that to say that it's assuredly an error on the compiler's part. But what a bizarre error to make!

On the other hand, there are hypothesis about Robespierre secretly marrying Éléonore Duplay. S.

True. As far as I can tell, they all come from the same source: Monnel's Mémoires d'un prêtre régicide. It's not impossible, but since that's the only primary source I know that claims such a thing and Monnel himself acknowledges that he's had it on hearsay, it's not the sort of thing I would like to see flat-out asserted as fact either.

Yes, I know! I have been thinking about it for months, and finally I decided to enlighten my doubts a little, thank you. ;)

There are a lot of rumors about the relationship between Maxime and Éleonore and the outcomes. Anyways, I'm not very adept to their marriage theories, I find it difficult to have a definitive proof.

Still that is odd..though the facts are quite wrong on that. But still interesting i say..

You're very welcome. It never hurts to get a second opinion. (Or a third, or a fourth... or a thousandth, for that matter.
