Hey, I just love these NAPOLEONIC Triva questions.... keep them coming....

The answer is: Claude François de Malet who led an attempted coup d'etat in Paris, France, aimed at removing Napoleon I, then campaigning in Russia, from power. He had spent time in prison because of his opposition to Napoleon. The coup failed, and the leading conspirators were executed.
