"Name originally given to a group of Left-wing deputies in the Legislative Assembly, who supported [the] policy of a `revolutionary war' in the autumn and winter of 1791 and many of whom . . . came from the Gironde region. Later applied to a wider group sharing a more or less common political and social programme in opposition to that of the main body of Jacobins (Rude, p. 255)."
