Jean-Baptiste Fleuriot-Lescot

Jean-Baptiste Edmond Fleuriot-Lescot (also known as Lescot-Fleuriot) (1761 – 28 July 1794) was an architect, sculptor, and revolutionary from the Austrian Netherlands.

On the 9th of Thermidor, Fleuriot-Lescot published a proclamation (alongside Hanriot and Payan) urging the people to rise up en masse to defend their true friends.

He hastily convened the council of the Commune, as Robespierre was confined in the Luxembourg Palace and declared insurrectionary views, issuing decrees of charge.

He was brought before the Revolutionary Tribunal on the 10th of Thermidor, identified by Lieudon, who requested that he replace Fouquier-Tinville.

Fleuriot-Lescot was sentenced to death by the guillotine, along with 21 other convicts that day including Robespierre, Saint-Just, and Couthon.
