This was Theroigne de Mericourt.
Santerre was well known: he was the king of the faubourgs.

Saint-Huruge had been, since '89, the great agitator of the Palais Royal.
The Marquis de Saint-Huruge, born at Macon of a rich and noble family, was one of those men of tumult and disturbances who seem to personify the masses.

Gifted by nature with a towering stature and a martial figure, his voice thundered above the roars of the crowd.

He had his agitations, his fury, his moments of repentance, and sometimes even of cowardice; his heart was not cruel, but his brain was disturbed.

Too aristocratic to be envious, too rich to be a spoliator, too frivolous to be a fanatic by principle, the Revolution turned his brain in the same manner as a rapidly flowing river carries with it the eye that in vain strives to gaze fixedly on it.
