Louis-Charles-César Maupassant

Louis-Charles-César Maupassant, born 25 April 1750 in Saumur, died 11 March 1793 in Machecoul, was a merchant, farmer and deputy to the French National Convention.

From a bourgeois family in Nort, he was a small landholder, and churchwarden of the parish at the beginning of the French Revolution.

Sitting among the majority, he opposed the release of Necker on 11 September and against the motion against the refractory priests on 17 July 1791, the day of the shooting of Champ de Mars.

On 3 September the Assembly completed the drafting of the constitution, and a deputation of 60 members is appointed by the President to present the text to the king, the same evening.

In March 1793, he was sent to Machecoul, by the Department of Management, to organise the mass uprising but was killed by a panic in the first attack of the village by the rebel peasants.
