During the French Revolution, Louis-Michel Lepeletier, marquis de Saint-Fargeau (1760-1793), deputy of the nobility, betrayed his camp to join the third estate.

This feat earned him the appointment of president of the Constituent Assembly, the assembly that built the Constitution.

On January 20, 1793, during a stormy session, Lepeletier announced that he was voting for the death of the king.

A few hours later, at a restaurant in the Palais Égalité, he was mortally wounded by a former bodyguard of Louis XVI.

The next day, the deposed king's head falls under the ax of the guillotine.
