Paul Barras

Paul Barras was deputy to Maximilien Robespierre during the French Revolution and Robespierre's enemy.

On 26 July 1794, Barras met with the young war hero Napoléon Bonaparte at an inn called the Sinking Ship with a proposal to Bonaparte that after the overthrow of Robespierre, Bonaparte would serve as one of three figurehead rulers. Bonaparte accepted. (TV: The Reign of Terror)
