Élisabeth Le Bas

Élisabeth Le Bas was a French revolutionary and memoirist who was close to Maximilien Robespierre. Her father was Robespierre's host, and her family considered him to be an adopted son. Le Bas was politically active and attended sessions at the National Convention and the Jacobin Club, and it was at one of these sessions that she met her future husband, Philippe-François-Joseph Le Bas. They were married with Robespierre's blessing, and together they had a son also named Philippe.
