François René Mallarmé

François René Mallarmé, French lawyer and politician (d. 1835)
François-René-Auguste Mallarmé (French pronunciation: ​[fʁɑ̃swa ʁəne oɡyst malaʁme]; 25 February 1755 – 25 July 1835) was a French statesman of the French Revolution and a supporter of Napoleon Bonaparte and the French Empire. His career is of particular interest because he was among political figures such as Joseph Fouché who at first aggressively supported the Terror, only to betray its leaders (including Maximilien Robespierre) and support the various conservative reactionary régimes that followed. His was a chevalier de l'Empire from 22 November 1808 and a baron de l'Empire from 31 January 1810.
