Collot D'Herbois

Collot D'Herbois (1750-1790), full name Jean Marie Collot D'Herbois was a violent French Revolutionary, originally a tragic actor, once hissed off the Lyons stage, "tearing a passion to rags". He had his revenge by a wholesale butchery there. He marched 209 men across the Rhône to be shot. By-and-by, he was banished beyond seas to Cayenne, and soon died there.
