Claude-Alexandre Ysabeau was born in Gien on 14 July 1754 and died in Paris on 18 March 1831.[1]

He was first an Oratorian priest and later a constitutional priest in St-Martin-de-Tours, eventually serving as Vicar-General to the Bishop of Tours in 1791.[2] He was a teacher at the École Militaire de Vendôme and at the Collège de Tours.

He was elected as a deputy to the National Convention for the departement of Indre-et-Loire.[3] He voted for the death of Louis XVI.

The Convention sent him to

Thermidorean Reaction
which overthrew Robespierre.

In March 1795 he became a member of the Committee of General Security and in October of the same year he was elected to the Council of Ancients. Under the Consulate and Empire he served as an inspector of the post.

He is buried in the

Père-Lachaise cemetery
