François, Marquis de Barbé Marbois (1745 – 1837) was Consul General in the United States and a stout supporter of the Monarchist system. Under Napoleon Bonaparte he became Minister of Finance in 1801 and President of the Government Audit in 1808. He was a supporter of Charles X and later, in 1830, of the future King Louis-Philippe. He became notorious for his participation as a 90 year old judge in the political trials against the April 1834 defendants.
