ジャン＝ポール・マラー
Jean-Paul Marat, the "démagogue" of the "sans-culottes", was favourably impressed, and declared: "de Séze read a long speech made with a great deal of art". The Commune, the most violent of the factions at the time, described the speech as "very adroit". Nevertheless, the case was lost, and the king was sent to the guillotine.
