CHABOT, FRANgOIS French revolutionary, born at St. Geniez, near Aveyron, had been a Franciscan friar before the Revolution, and after the civil constitution of the clergy continued to act as "constitutional" priest. Then he was elected to the Legislative Assembly, sitting at the extreme left, and forming with C. Bazire and Merlin de Thionville the "Cordelier trio." Re-elected to the Convention he voted for the death of Louis XVI., and opposed the proposal to prosecute the authors of the massacre of September. Compromised in the falsification of a decree suppressing the India Company and in a plot to bribe certain members of the Convention, especially Fabre d'Eglantine and C. Bazire, he was made to appear before the Revolutionary Tribunal, and was condemned and executed on April 5, See Francois Chabot ... do ses concitoyens, ... pluviose, an II.
