Any particular reason for the nonuniformity of "General" and "Général"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.74.134.80 (talk) 04:01, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracy

In addition to not having any real citations, just a lazily added vague list of references that does no good whatsoever, there is at least one major inaccuracy. The colonnes infernales were attributed to Louis Marie Turreau, not Carrier. 173.8.132.118 (talk) 16:21, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Bonaparte

Bonaparte was one of several officers present on 13e Vendémiaire, and was responsible for siting the guns to cover the approaches to the Convention. His role was exagerated by Barras who stated Bonaparte had been his second in command. See: George Crowd, 'The Crowd in the Revolution' (1959) p 171 https://archive.org/details/crowdinfrenchrev0000rude/page/171/mode/1up?q=honore H.

By the contrary, Barras diminish Napoleon's role by saying who he was his second in command while Napoleon was the de facto commander of the entire defence, not only was his plan used but he procured the guns from Sablon, all the other officers like Menou had been replaced or under Napoleon command.

Richer de Sévigny

There is a leader of the royalists mentioned in this article, Richer de Sévigny, who I cannot find any reference to elsewhere. He is mentioned once in an uncited sentence which indicates he was commander of "the Military Committee of the Sections of the Capital". He is also not listed on the wikipedia.fr version of this article. Was this a real person, or not? Patr2016 (talk) 17:54, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Did Charles X land in France during this event?

From the article: "Despite this, the Comte d'Artois landed at Île d'Yeu with 1,000 émigrés and 2,000 British troops. Bolstered by this force, the Royalist troops began marching on Paris in early October 1795. The arrival of the Comte d'Artois excited the jeunesse dorée Royalist supporters in the Le Peletier section of the capital"

Is that actually right? Charles X's article makes no mention of it, it isn't mentioned on the French wiki page on the same subject, and I can't find anything to suggest he made landfall in France during his exile. He doesn't appear to have left the UK from 1792-1814. CharlemagnePub (talk) 18:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
