Pierre Henry-Larivière

Pierre François Joachim Henry Larivière or La Rivière, known as Henry-Larivière, (b. Falaise, 6 December 1761, d. Paris 3 November 1838), was a French politician and député for Calvados to the Convention.

Elected to the National Assembly by the département of Calvados, he was noted for his hostile attitude towards the court and the king’s ministers.

Re-elected as a député of Calvados to the Convention nationale, he took his seat with the Girondins, becoming an increasingly vocal critic of The Mountain.

President of the Council (19 June - 18 July) after the royalist victory in the 1797 elections, his name was included in a list of those to be deported to Guiana after the anti-royalist coup of 18 Fructidor on 4 September,[6] and he was obliged to flee the country.

He managed to reach Switzerland first, and then England, where he joined the entourage of the comte d'Artois (later Charles X de France).
