 Condorcet was strongly implicated in the Girondist party by February 1793 as he drafted the Gironde’s constitutional project. In July 1793, a list of 21 “proscribed” Girondins was issued, and 39 names (including Condorcet’s) were added shortly afterwards. Brissot and twenty-one others were arrested. They were tried on 24 October and executed on the last day of that month. It took just over half an hour for the twenty-two heads to fall. Others who had escaped, including Manon Roland’s husband (the interior minister Jean-Marie Roland) and her lover (the politician François Buzot) committed suicide shortly afterwards. After several months spent in hiding in Paris, Condorcet too attempted to escape. He died in prison in Bourg-la-Reine in March 1795, either by swallowing poison hidden for him in a ring by his brother in law Cabanis or from a heart attack brought on by his long walk from Paris.
