| | The Desmoulins |
 | | Camille could be nasty, vindictive, and vicious, despite the beauty and poignancy of his latter prose in favor of clemency, in the early days of the Revolution he had been known as "The Lantern Lawyer" for his advocacy of hanging aristocrats on the light posts. |
 | | Camille Desmoulins was born in Guise, Picardy on March 2, 1760, the eldest of six children of Jean-Louis and Madeleine Desmoulins. |
 | | Camille collapsed when he heard that Lucile, who stood outside the prison everyday so that he could see her, was to be arrested on trumped-up charges of leading a prison revolt. |
