Pierre-Louis Prior

Pierre-Louis Prieur says “Prior of the Marne”, born on August 1st, 1756 with Sommesous (Marne), dead on May 31st, 1827 with Brussels, was appointed with the national Convention.

Lawyer with Châlons-sur-Marne before the Revolution, Prieur is elected by this Bailliage with the General states. In 1791, it becomes substitute of the public prosecutor of the Marne, which elects it with the Convention the following year. Burning Mountain, Prieur binds with Robespierre. After having voted the death of Louis XVI, it passes the essence of its time on mission, even after its election with the Comité of Public Hello. It is thus charged with inquiring with Orleans into the alleged attack directed against his colleague Léonard Bourdon (who proves not to be that the result of a brawl of drunkards), before leaving successively to the Armée with the coasts, with that of the Northern , the the Ardennes and the the Moselle.

On mission in the West, Prieur contributes to the victory of Mans against the Vendéens in December 1793. In January 1794, it replaces Carrier with Nantes and organizes the revolutionary administrations in the Morbihan and the Loire-Inférieure. In May 1794, Jeanbon Saint-Andrew claims its assistance to Brest. Absent from Paris at the time of the Fall of Robespierre, it is one of rare the robespierrists not to have perished on the scaffold. Faithful to his ideas, this Mountain dweller sits at the Committee of public hello until February 1795. At the time of the riots of germinal and meadow, it in vain tries to alleviate the situation.

Decree the 2 meadow to have taken the party of the rioters the day before, Prieur is imprisoned until the voted general amnesty on October 26th, 1795. It withdraws political life under the Directoire and the Empire. Forced to exile itself like Regicide in 1816, Prieur of the Marne dies on May 30th, 1827 in Brussels, without ever to have disavowed nor betrayed his ideas of revolutionist.
