Attempt to justify atrocities
The claim that "his mind had become unbalanced by the atrocities committed by the Vendean and royalist armies" is not only unsourced, but outrageous. The man was clearly a monster, whose sexual and cruel exploits were almost unparalleled even in the Red Terror. To suggest that responsibility lay with alleged and unspecified Vendean atrocities is rather strange and extreme. It is rather like saying that the Holocaust was due to Jewish crimes of money lending etc. The claim ought to be deleted.122.60.18.186 (talk) 07:27, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I agree it ought to be deleted because it is speculative. At the same time the purpose of the article is to record his actions and not to editorialise on them. Mccapra (talk) 18:09, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
