Charles Alexandre de Calonne

French statesman

1734 CE to 1802 CE

Charles Alexandre de Calonne (January 20, 1734 – October 30, 1802), titled Count of Hannonville in 1759, is a French statesman, best known for his involvement in the French Revolution.

Realizing that the Parlement of Paris will never agree to reform, Calonne handpicks an Assembly of Notables in 1787 to approve new taxes.

When they refuses, Calonne's reputation plummets and he is forced to leave the country.
