Bernard René Jourdan, Marquis de Launay - usually known (democratically) as Delaunay. He was born in the Bastille, where his father was governor, and became Governor himself in 1776 after a career in the Musketeers. he surrendered the Bastille on a promise of good treatment, and must have been somewhat surprised when he was dragged a mile across town, butchered and had his head cut off with a very blunt knife.
