Jean-Marie-Nicolas Lucas de Montigny (10 February 1782 - 24 January 1852) was a French politician.
Nicknamed Coco or Gabriel and nominally the son of the sculptor Jean-Robert-Nicolas Lucas de Montigny and Edmée Adélaïde Baignières (1750-1796), he was most probably the biological son of Mirabeau after an affair with Edmée. He spent much of his childhood being raised in Mirabeau's household and was taken with him to Germany. [1]
On Mirabeau's death in 1791 and Madame de Saillant's death in 1821, he inherited a huge fortune, including documents and artworks from Mirabeau's collection, continuing to expand it for the rest of his life, acquiring Mirabeau's château near Marseille in 1816 and published Mirabeau's Mémoires biographiques in 1834. A protégé of Mirabeau's friend Frochot, who became prefect of the Seine under the First French Empire, Jean-Marie-Nicolas had a major administrative career and became president of the Conseil de préfecture de la Seine before being appointed conseiller d'État just before his death on 24 January 1853.
Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Count of Mirabeau was a leader of the early stages of the French Revolution. A noble, he had been involved in numerous scandals before the start of the Revolution in 1789 that had left his reputation in ruins. Nonetheless, he rose to the top of the French political hierarchy in the years 1789–1791 and acquired the reputation of a voice of the people. A successful orator, he was the leader of the moderate position among revolutionaries by favoring a constitutional monarchy built on the model of Great Britain. When he died, he was a great national hero, even though support for his moderate position was slipping away. The later discovery that he was in the pay of King Louis XVI and the Austrian enemies of France beginning in 1790 brought him into posthumous disgrace. Historians are deeply split on whether he was a great leader who almost saved the nation from the Terror, a venal demagogue lacking political or moral values, or a traitor in the pay of the enemy.
