Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

This article is about the political club in Revolutionary France. You may be looking for the movement to restore the House of Stuart.

The Society of Friends of the Constitution, more commonly known as the Jacobin Club, was a radical left-wing political party during the French Revolution.[1] The club was initially formed by Breton deputies in 1789. Other deputies, non-deputies, and even foreign nationals immediately joined and it grew to over 7,000 chapters with nearly half a million members.[2]

The club received its name from a linguistic peculiarity regarding the place where they regularly met thrice per week: in France, the Italian Order of Saint James of Altopascio dedicated to Saint James the Less (Latin: Santus Iacobus) was based in Saint-Jacques-du-Haut-Pas on Rue Saint-Jacques in Le Quartier Latin. However, because the Dominican Order's Couvent des Jacobins de la rue Saint-Jacques,[3] itself near the National Assembly,[4] was on the way to Saint-Jacques-de-Haut-Pas, the name "Jacobin" was applied to them as well as the political club which met in the building.

During the constitutional monarchy, which the Jacobins supported,[2] their main enemies were the dominant party, the moderate Girondins, whom they eventually toppled, along with former King Louis XVI in 1793.[5][6]

History[edit | edit source]

For the first two years of its existence, the party was more politically moderate than it would later become, and was led by the Assassin Mentor, the Comte de Mirabeau.[7] However, after his death in 1791, the club was taken over by and served as the main guise of the Templar Order's radical faction under the leadership of François-Thomas Germain, who fought for supremacy with the Order's conservative wing led by Élise de la Serre, daughter of the usurped Grand Master François.[8] Many moderate members founded their own party around this time, the Feuillants.[2]

When the Jacobins prevailed against the Girondins in June 1793, Germain gave the reins of government to a fellow Templar, Maximilien de Robespierre, who initiated the Reign of Terror, wherein thousands of French people were executed on increasingly questionable charges.[9] The Jacobins, under Robespierre and backed by common Parisians, ruled the country for nearly a year.[2]

As the citizens turned against the Jacobins, Robespierre was hunted by Élise and her adopted brother, the Assassin Arno Dorian, both of whom sought vengeance against Germain for Grand Master de la Serre's death and reasoned Robespierre would be the most likely to know where he was hiding. Robespierre was captured by revolutionaries on 27 July 1794, but was freed by his supporters as he was being escorted to prison.[10]

Pursued by Arno, he subsequently fled to the Hôtel de Ville, where he sought refuge until reinforcements arrived, but was soon discovered by Arno and Élise. When Robespierre refused to tell them anything, Élise shot him in the jaw and told him to write instead. Robespierre finally disclosed that Germain was hiding in the Temple. With this information, Élise and Arno left, just as revolutionaries arrived to arrest Robespierre.[10]

The following day, Robespierre was guillotined,[11] and a less radical government was established under the Directory.[7] On the evening of 28 July, a mob led by Théroigne de Méricourt raided a Jacobin hideout. The remaining Jacobins planned to flee through tunnels to Corsica with Italian help, but Arno led an Assassin team to kill their leaders. The Jacobin party collapsed without Robespierre's leadership,[11] and it was closed and outlawed in November 1794.[2] Though attempts were made to re-establish it in various forms as late as 1799, none lasted more than a few months.[7]
