Lucie Simplice Camille Benoît Desmoulins (French:[kamij demulɛ̃]; 2 March 1760 – 5 April 1794), a journalist and politician, played an important role in the French Revolution. He was a childhood friend of Maximilien Robespierre and a close friend and political ally of Georges Danton, who were influential figures in the French Revolution. Desmoulins was tried and executed alongside Danton when the Committee of Public Safety reacted against Dantonist opposition.
Early life
Desmoulins was born at Guise, Aisne, in Picardy. His father, Jean Benoît Nicolas Desmoulins, was a rural lawyer and lieutenant-general of the bailliage of Guise. Through the efforts of a friend, he obtained a scholarship for the fourteen-year-old Camille to enter the Collège Louis-le-Grand in Paris. Desmoulins proved an exceptional student even among such notable contemporaries as Maximilien Robespierre and Louis-Marie Stanislas Fréron. He excelled in the study of Classical literature and politics, and gained a particular affinity for Cicero, Tacitus and Livy.Schama, 380.He pursued law, and succeeded in gaining acceptance as an advocate of the parlement of Paris in 1785; however, his serious stammer and ferocious temper proved severe obstacles to success in this arena. Thus stymied, he turned towards writing as an alternative outlet for his talents; his interest in public affairs led him to a career as a political journalist.
Execution of Georges Danton and Camille Desmoulins, 5 April 1794
From the film "La Révolution française (1989) Part 2".
Danton, Desmoulins, and many other actual or accused Dantonist associates were tried from April 3 through 5th before the Revolutionary Tribunal. The trial was less criminal in nature than political, and as such unfolded in an irregular fashion. The jury had only seven members, despite the law demanding twelve, as it was deemed that only seven jurors could be relied on returning the required verdict. Danton made lengthy and violent attacks on the Committee of Public Safety and the accused demanded the right to have witnesses appear on their behalf, they had submitted requests for several - including, in Desmoulins' case, Robespierre.[citation needed]. The Court's President, M.J.A. Herman, was unable to control the proceedings until the...

12 juillet 1789, harangue de Camille Desmoulins aux Tuileries
[extrait du film La Révolution française de Robert Enrico et Richard T. Heffron (1989)]

Französische Revolution, Teil 5: Camille Desmoulins im Palais Royal
Mit dem Auftritt von Camille Desmoulins im café de Foy und seinem Aufruf zur Gewalt gegen die königlichen Truppen bekommt die französische Revolution eine neue Qualität. Die verstärkte Anwesenheit regulärer Truppenverbände in Paris sorgte für Unruhe in der Pariser Bevölkerung. Es gingen Gerüchte um, dass Paris von ausländischen Truppen angegriffen werden sollte. Camille Desmoulins hingegen vergleicht die Situation mit der Bartholomäusnacht von 1572, bei der die königlichen Truppen gegen die eigene Bevölkerung eingesetzt wurden und auf Befehl des Königs Karl IX. die in Paris anwesenden Protestanten niedergemetzelt wurden. Desmoulins befürchtet, dass es zu einem ähnlichen Akt der Gewalt gegen die Pariser Bevölkerung kommt und ruft nun diese, auf sich zu wehren und zu den Waffen zu greifen.

From the film "La Révolution française (1989) Part 2".
Danton, Desmoulins, and many other actual or accused Dantonist associates were tried from April 3 through 5th before the Revolutionary Tribunal. The trial was less criminal in nature than political, and as such unfolded in an irregular fashion. The jury had only seven members, despite the law demanding twelve, as it was deemed that only seven jurors could be relied on returning the required verdict. Danton made lengthy and violent attacks on the Committee of Public Safety and the accused demanded the right to have witnesses appear on their behalf, they had submitted requests for several - including, in Desmoulins' case, Robespierre.[citation needed]. The Court's President, M.J.A. Herman, was unable to control the proceedings until the aforementioned decree was passed by the National Convention, preventing the accused from further defending themselves. These facts, together with confusing and often incidental denunciations (for instance, a report that Danton, while engaged in political work in Brussels, had appropriated a carriage filled with several hundred thousand pounds of table linen)[20] and threats made by prosecutor Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tinville towards members of the jury, ensured a guilty verdict. Danton and the rest of the defendants were condemned to death, and at once led, in company with fourteen others, including Camille Desmoulins and several other members of the Indulgents, to the guillotine. "I leave it all in a frightful welter," he said; "not a man of them has an idea of government. Robespierre will follow me; he is dragged down by me. Ah, better be a poor fisherman than meddle with the government of men!" The phrase 'a poor fisherman' was almost certainly a reference to Saint Peter, Danton having reconciled to Catholicism.
Of the group of fifteen who were guillotined together on April 5, 1794, including Marie Jean Hérault de Séchelles, Philippe Fabre d'Églantine and Pierre Philippeaux, Desmoulins died third, and Danton last.
