Charlotte Corday d'Armont was the granddaughter of Corneille, the great tragic poet of France.

From Project Gutenberg

The convent-bred Marie Charlotte Corday d'Armont was the daughter of a landless squire of Normandy, a member of the ch�tive noblesse, a man of gentle birth, whose sadly reduced fortune may have predisposed him against the law of entail or primogeniture—the prime cause of the inequality out of which were sprung so many of the evils that afflicted France.
