Louise-Suzanne le Peletier
Louise-Suzanne le Peletier (1 March 1782 – 19 August 1829) was the daughter of the Templar and revolutionary politician Louis-Michel le Peletier.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
On the evening of 20 January 1793, Louise-Suzanne accompanied her father to a party at the Palais-Royal in celebration of King Louis XVI's upcoming execution. Unbeknownst to her, the French Assassin Arno Dorian had infiltrated the party with the intent to assassinate her father.[2]
Arno placed a bottle of wine tainted with lead sugar at the bar counter, which Louis-Michel drank. Seeing him becoming ill, a worried Louise-Suzanne was told by her father to find her nurse and go home. As Louis-Michel went into a hallway, Arno confronted him. After Louis-Michel thanked the Assassin for sparing his daughter the sight of his death, Arno killed him.[2]
Following her father's assassination, Louise-Suzanne was officially named "Daughter of the Nation" by the grieving National Convention. In her later life, she became a passionate Royalist, and spent much time and expense recovering and destroying Jacques-Louis David's painting of her father The Last Moments of Michel Lepeletier. Louise-Suzanne died in 1829, aged 47.[3]
