The follow note is stored against Pierre Louis Roederer record:
A distant cousin of the famous Champagne family; Roederer was the archetype of the French revolutionaries. A lawyer from Metz blocked from advancement before the revolution by insufficient noble blood; he was elected to the Assemblée Nationale in 1789 and quickly rose to prominence; principally in economic and financial mattters. In 1791 he persuaded Louis XVI and his family to take refuge in the Assemblée. Originally opposed to Napoléon; he became close to the emperor who was introduced to him by Talleyrand (whose marriage he witnessed). Napoléon commented on several occasions on his admiration for Roederer. Talleyrand was entrusted with several diplomatic missions; and was despatched to Naples as Minister of Finance under Napoléon's brother. He was also appointed commissaire for the public spirit; with the responsability for education and theatres. He fared less well under the restored French kings; even though his son-in-law; Baron Gourgaud (also buried in this cemetery) was an ADC to King Louis-Philippe.
