Théophile Bidard
Théophile Bidard (11 March 1804 – 23 October 1877) was a French politician and law professor, although he might be most remembered as a principal witness for the prosecution against Hélène Jégado in 1851. Bidard was born in Rennes in 1804. He sat in the Constituent Assembly from 1848 to 1849 as a moderate republican and in the National Assembly from 1871 to 1876 as a member of the Orléanist parliamentary group, "Centre droit". He served as Mayor of Rennes.
