Léonard Bourdon

Louis Jean Joseph Léonard Bourdon de la Cronière (6 November 1754, Alençon – 29 May 1807, Breslau) was a French politician of the French Revolution. He was president of the National Constituent Assembly and substitute for the procureur of the Commune de Paris.

Despite his depiction in the traditional historiography, where he is presented as "a fanatical Montagnard, a fierce terrorist, a violent man, thirsty for blood, corrupt and decadent", he is depicted more sympathetically by modern historians. Provided by Wikipedia
