Stanislas Fréron
At once a man of extremes and a political chameleon. As a representative on mission during the Terror , he ruthlessly had enemies of the Revolution executed in Toulon and Marseille, only to take part, under the pretext of humanity, in the overthrow of Robespierre . After 9 Thermidor , he incited the Jeunesse dorée and the Incroyables against the Jacobins , his former political allies. That was not enough for him. He even demanded the demolition of Paris City Hall, calling it the Louvre of the tyrant Robespierre . His relationship with one of Napoleon’s sisters sealed his fate. Bonaparte disapproved of the affair. He sent Fréron to the Caribbean to get rid of him. Successfully so: six months after his arrival in Saint-Domingue, Fréron died of yellow fever.
