Salut citoyen(ne)s,

My name is Éléonore Duplay, although those closest to me, and in particular my fiancé, Maximilien Robespierre, called me Cornélie. I use the past tense becuase, in case you were wondering (and so as to avoid any confusion), I am dead. I died on 26 July, 1832, making this true now for 175 years. If I were still alive, I would be nearly 239 year old, but in death, for some reason the Supreme Being alone knows, I remain barely 26 years old and tend presently to resemble my old portraits (see icon), if somewhat less opaquely.

In life--or at least under the Revolution, which I assume is of most interest--I was an art student under Regnault and spent my time walking with my fiancé along the Seine or in the Bois de Boulogne, watching the proceedings of the National Convention and the Jacobin Club from the public galleries, painting, and helping my mother with household tasks. After Maximilien's assassination by those vicious criminals known as Thermidorians, I was thrown in prison with the rest of my family, but later freed, as they could not find any charges to bring against me. I wore mourning for the rest of my life, never marrying and was considered as Maximilien's widow. I died at the age of sixty-four one day before the anniversary of Thermidor and was buried in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris: http://www.parisrama.com/thematiques/thematique_perelachaise.htm. I am here, for whatever reason, listed under Politicians or Hommes Politiques.

I refer those with further interest in myself and my fiancé to the following pages, the first succinct, the second more detailed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89l%C3%A9onore_Duplay, http://membres.lycos.fr/discours/.

Vive à jamais la République !

Éléonore Duplay, dite la Veuve Robespierre.
