  Honoré Mirabeau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honoré Mirabeau was born at Le Bignon, near Nemours as the eldest surviving son of the economist Victor de Riqueti, marquis de Mirabeau and his wife Marie-Geneviève de Vassan.
Such was Mirabeau's programme, from which he never diverged, but which was far too statesmanlike to be understood by the poor king, and far too positive regarding the altered condition of the monarchy to be palatable to the queen.
Again Mirabeau almost alone of the Assembly held that the soldier ceased to be a citizen when he became a soldier; he must submit to be deprived of his liberty to think and act, and must recognize that a soldier's first duty is obedience.

Mirabeau did not develop his great qualities of mind and character until his youthful excesses were over, and it was not till 1781 that these began to appear.

Mirabeau’s life before 1789 was characterized by wild excesses, which ruined his health and caused him to be repeatedly jailed—several times on the request of his father, with whom he carried on a public quarrel.
To the marquis de Dreux-Brézé, who announced the king’s order, Mirabeau replied (his words have been variously reported): “We shall not leave our places save by the force of bayonets.” The assembly remained in session and adopted Mirabeau’s motion that its members were inviolable.
However, despite his sonorous phrases, Mirabeau from the very beginning of the French Revolution sought to create a strong constitutional monarchy on the British model, which would permit him to play a decisive role as prime minister.

Mirabeau presented himself in the chamber of the nobility in the estates of Provence in January 1789 and uttered violent diatribes against the privileged classes but was not elected deputy, as he held no fief.
Mirabeau's prime concern, however, was to win "the battle of the ministry." Ostensibly a supporter of Necker, Mirabeau, in fact, did his utmost to destroy him: his brilliant speech on the bankruptcy of the nation was a masterstroke against this minister.
Mirabeau's position was made difficult by his intervention on behalf of the King's aunts (who had fled from Paris), by his hostility to the law against the émigrés, and by his harsh words against the Lameths and their satellites in the Assembly ("Silence to the factious!
