Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré's early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune's Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the "Bloody Week", in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

@ Larian let me romance Jaheira you cowards.
My preferences with BG3 companions are like Shadowheart >> Jaheira >>>>> everyone else but I can't date druid elf mommy so I guess we're dating Shadowheart again on our Tactician run. Love Karlach as a character but don't find her too attractive, same with Lae'zel. Minthara is just... too evil. Maybe I'll try Wyll, I'm not too into men but that dancing scene at the beach is so freaking cute I might make an exception.
I think you can date angry druid mommy in BGII.
According to the wiki BGII takes place in the year 1369 and Jaheira was born in 1347 so she's 22 in that game, literally younger than I am now and I'm not even an elf. Give me Jaheira at 146 or give me nothing.
