He studied See also:law, and at the outbreak of the Revolution was an See also:advocate in his native See also:town. In 1789 he was elected See also:deputy to the states-See also:general, and there became known for his advanced opinions. He demanded the nationalization of the possessions of the See also:clergy, and the right of all citizens to carry arms. After the See also:dissolution of the Constituent See also:Assembly, Buzot returned to Evreux, where he was named See also:president of the criminal tribunal. In 1792 he was elected deputy to the See also:Convention, and took his See also:place among the See also:Girondists. He demanded the formation of a See also:national guard from the departments to defend the Convention against the populace of See also:Paris. His proposal was carried, but never put into force; and the Parisians were extremely See also:bitter against him and the Girondists. In the trial of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XVI., Buzot voted for See also:death, but with See also:appeal to the See also:people and postponement of See also:sentence. He had a See also:decree of death passed against the emigres who did not return to See also:France, and against anyone who should demand the re-See also:establishment of the See also:monarchy. Proscribed with the Girondists on the 2nd of See also:June 1793, he succeeded in escaping, and took See also:refuge in See also:Normandy, where he contributed to organize a federalist insurrection against the Convention, which was speedily suppressed. Buzot was outlawed, and fled to the neighbourhood of See also:Bordeaux, and committed See also:suicide in the See also:woods of St Emilion on the 18th of June 1794. He was an intelligent and honest See also:man, although he seems to have profited by the See also:sale of the possessions of the clergy, but he had a stubborn, unyielding temperament, was incapable of making concessions, and was dominated by Madame See also:Roland, who imparted to him her hatred of See also:Danton and the Montagnards.
