Who was Charles Alexandre de Calonne?
Charles Alexandre, vicomte de Calonne was a French statesman, best known for his involvement in the French Revolution.
Realizing that the Parliament of Paris would never agree to reform, Calonne handpicked an Assembly of Notables in 1787 to approve new taxes. When they refused, Calonne's reputation plummeted and he was forced to leave the country.
