Short answers, pulled from the story.
Roger Ducos (the 25th of July 1747 - the 16th of March 1816) was a French political figure who served as a deputy to the National Convention, a member of the Council of Five Hundred, and a director in the executive Directory. He sat with The Plain, a faction that held no fixed ideological position, and voted for the execution of King Louis XVI without appeal or delay.
Yes. On the 9th of November 1799, the date of the 18 Brumaire coup, Ducos accepted Napoleon Bonaparte's seizure of power and became one of the three Provisional Consuls alongside Napoleon and Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès. He later became vice-president of the Senate when the Consulate was formally established.
Ducos was named to the executive Directory on the 18th of June 1799, following Barthélemy Catherine Joubert's coup. His appointment came through the influence of Paul Barras, a powerful director who regarded Ducos as a reliable partisan.
Ducos was exiled under the 1816 law targeting regicides, those who had voted for the death of King Louis XVI during the Revolution. Despite attempting to win favor with the restored Bourbon monarchy after voting for Napoleon's deposition in 1814, he was caught by the law and forced to leave France.
Roger Ducos died in March 1816 near Ulm, from a carriage accident while in exile. He died at the age of sixty-eight, far from France.
Roger Ducos was born on the 25th of July 1747 in Montfort-en-Chalosse, a town in the Aquitaine region of France, in what is now the Landes department. The département of the Landes later elected him as a deputy to the National Convention.
