- ―Andrés de Guzmán speaking to a crowd, 1794.[src]
Don Andrés Guzmán y Ruiz Castro t'Scerlaes de Tilly, comte de Guzmán, or Andrés María de Guzmán (7 October 1753 – 5 April 1794), was a Spanish aristocrat and a radical revolutionary of the French Revolution.
Biography
Guzmán moved to France in 1778, and his opulent aristocratic lifestyle nearly bankrupted him. At the height of the French Revolution, he joined the extreme radical camp of Jacques Hébert and the Enragés, becoming an intensely vocal opponent of the Girondists, particularly their policy of spreading the revolution through war. He often incited the crowd in the Louvre gardens and advocated polticial execution. Guzmán also became part of the Bande noire, a group of speculators who issued false bank notes and purchased various châteaux and abbeys.
After the Girondists were executed, the Assassin Council of the Parisian Brotherhood sent Arno Dorian to eliminate Guzmán as retribution for his role in the deaths of the Girondists. While Guzmán spoke under heavy guard to a crowd in the Louvre gardens on the downfall of the Girondists, Arno was able to kill him.
Note
- Historically, Andrés de Guzmán was executed by the guillotine the same day as Georges Danton.
