Jacques Hébert

Jacques Hébert (? - March 24, 1794) was editor of the extreme radical newspaper Le Père Duchesne during the French Revolution. His followers are generally referred to in English as the "Hébertists".

Hébert and his immediate followers, though certainly not all his sympathizers, were executed March 24, 1794, among the few to fall afoul of the Maximilien Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety for an excess of zeal rather than for any accusations of counter-revolutionary activity.
