Editing Antoine Barnave (section)

==Feuillant and fall from power==
As the [[Jacobin Club]] grew more radically in favor of a republic, Barnave and the other two members of the triumvirate broke away from it and formed the [[Feuillant (political group)|''Feuillant'' political group]] on 18 July 1791. In July and August 1791, Barnave reached the height of his political prominence after 17 July 1791 [[Champ de Mars Massacre]] weakened the position of the [[Jacobin]]s.

The ''Feuillants'' began to lose political power by early autumn, when disagreements arose with the growing influence of [[Jacques Pierre Brissot]] and his supporters, known as the [[Girondists]]. After the ''Feuillants'' opposed war against [[Habsburg monarchy|Austria]], they were driven out of the Assembly. Barnave's public career came to an end, and he returned to [[Grenoble]] at the beginning of 1792. His sympathy for and relations with the royal family, to whom he had submitted a plan for a counter-revolution, and his desire to check the violence of the Revolution, brought on him suspicion of [[treason]].<ref name="EB1911"/>

He was denounced on 15 August 1792 in the Legislative Assembly, arrested and imprisoned for ten months in Grenoble, then transferred to Fort Barraux (also called ''Fort Saint-Barthélémy''), near [[Barraux]] in the [[Isère]] department, and in November 1793 to Paris (during the [[Reign of Terror]]). On 28 November, he appeared before the [[Revolutionary Tribunal]]. He was condemned for treason on the evidence of papers detailing his extensive clandestine correspondence with Marie Antoinette discovered in Louis XVI's ''[[armoire de fer]]'' at the [[Tuileries Palace]]. Barnave was [[guillotine]]d in Paris the following day, 29 November 1793,<ref name=":0" /> as was [[Marguerite-Louis-François Duport-Dutertre]], former Minister of Justice.<ref name="EB1911"/>
