Are both of these things true about this person?

- He notably held a political office in France. (Any iteration of the French state counts.)
- He was born before January 1, 1795.

No. Besides, he was prime minister for a few months before 1848.

You have one question left. Afterwards, I'll give a hint if you need one.

Sorry, when did we find out that this person didn't hold office before 1848?

I don't think we know that. I think the point was that Guizot was PM.

Anyways, free guess: Adolphe Crémieux.

Was my guess so bad that it was wrong twice?

Sorry, I meant Cremieux, not him. I guess I quoted the wrong one.

Sorry, I have an urgent family obligation so Twenty Questions will be off for the next little while. Not sure how long but hopefully no more than a day or two.

Alright all, I'm partially back: not completely, but enough that the game can continue. I'll check on here at least a few times a day.

I hope you're doing well, wintergreen. For my free guess, I'll go with King Ludwig I of Bavaria.

Even if my guess is wrong, I strongly suspect this is someone born within modern France who isn't normally associated with France. The fact that every France-related question has been answered with a "no" is suspicious.

12. Not a French member of the nobility
I wanted to guess one of several Princes of Monaco who fit the bill, but they are all both "French" (born in Paris) and "members of the nobility" (princes).

Random free guess, likely not him but maybe will yield some hotter/colder info: Eligius Fromentin
