Augustin Bon Joseph de Robespierre (January 21, 1763 - July 28, 1794) was the younger brother of French Revolutionary leader, Maximilien Robespierre. Député-en-Mission to the Army of Italy in 1794. He used his influence to help advance General Bonaparte's career in the Army of Italy after reading Napoleon's Jacobite pamphlet "Souper de Beaucaire". With the fall of Maximilien Robespierre in the coup d'état of 9 Thermidor (27 July 1794) those associated with him were subjected to a witch hunt-like series of attacks from the Thermidorian Reaction. Napoleon's relationship with Augustin led to imprisonment in the Chateau d'Antibes on 6 August 1794 until he was cleared two weeks later. Augustin himself was one of the five most famous victims of 9 Thermidor. He demanded to be arrested with his brother in the National Convention and after taking refuge in the Hôtel de Ville he tried to escape capture by leaping out of a window. He failed, however, breaking both his legs, and was beheaded on the same day as his brother.
