She was arrested four times, and once hanged in effigy. She was finally executed (1755-08-02)August 2, 1755. After her death, she was remembered as an infamous Breton.Biography[edit]Marion was born to F\u00e9licien Tromel and H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Kerleau on May 6, 1717 in the hamlet of Porz-en-Haie, near Le Faou\u00ebt, Morbihan. She was the third child of five, with two older brothers, Fran\u00e7ois (1712) and Corentin, then a younger sister Louise (1719) and a younger brother Ren\u00e9-F\u00e9licien (1721).       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1737, at the age of twenty, Marion had her first child of four with Henri Pezron, a servant at Gu\u00e9m\u00e9n\u00e9.[1]:\u200a6\u200aThe first records of her criminal activity date from 1743. A master tailor, Fran\u00e7ois Hellou, was attacked on the road to Priziac by a band of criminals, armed with sticks and pistols. He identified Henri Pezron and Marion’s brother Corentin among his attackers. The same year, Marion was caught giving counterfeit coins to a man called Le Parlouer at the Croisty fair. This was when she was given the nicknames Marion du Faou\u00ebt and Marie Finefont (“Finefont” meaning, in Breton, very cunning[1]:\u200a6\u200a). It was not long after this that Marion became the leader of the emerging group of bandits: the latest year attested for her leadership therein is 1745.[1]:\u200a6\u200aBrice Evain describes the group as pragmatically targeting craftsmen, merchants, and well-to-do peasants, but not the nobility, whose victimisation was more likely to bring more serious consequences.[1]:\u200a6\u200a The official website for tourism in Brittany, however, describes her as “a kind of Breton Robin Hood who robbed from the rich to give to the poor.”[2]In 1746, Marion du Faou\u00ebt, Henri Pezron, and their associates were arrested. Henri Pezron was hanged. Marion du Faou\u00ebt was beaten, branded with a V (for voleur, “thief”), and banned from Rennes. Nonetheless, she returned to Faou\u00ebt and assembled a new bandit troupe. Arrested again in 1748, she was again banished, this time from the whole province. Again, nonetheless, she returned to Faou\u00ebt, and raised a new troupe.[1]:\u200a7\u200a       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Brice Evain calls the years 1748-1752 “the golden age of the troupe” (l\u2019\u00e2ge d\u2019or de la troupe):[1]:\u200a8\u200a they refined their skills as highwaymen, specializing in attacking traders returning from fairs, especially foreign traders.In 1752, Marion was arrested in Poullaouen and taken to the prison in Quimper, from which she escaped. In 1753, she was hanged in effigy. In October 1754, she was arrested in Nantes, and taken to the prison in Bouffay. During questioning, she gave her name as Marion du Faou\u00ebt; recognizing her, the judges transferred her to the prison in Quimper. This time, she did not escape: she was sentenced to hanging, and was executed August 2, 1755, at the age of thirty-eight.[1]:\u200a10\u200aIn popular culture[edit]Marion became a legendary figure in Breton oral traditions after her death. Over time, she came to function as a bogeyman used by parents to frighten children into good behavior.[3][4]These were first recorded by the historian Julien Tr\u00e9v\u00e9dy in 1884, in Breton Studies: Marion du Faou\u00ebt, leader of thieves (Etudes Bretonnes: Marion du Faou\u00ebt, chef de voleurs (1715-1755)). He says that he was going through the papers of the Quimper prison, researching something else, when he saw Marion’s name and was vividly reminded of the legendary figure he had heard of growing up, thus prompting a new line of research into her life.[3] The next work on Marion was Jean Lor\u00e9dan’s Poverty and thieves in the 18th century: Marion du Faou\u00ebt and her “associates” (La grande mis\u00e8re et les voleurs au XVIIIe si\u00e8cle\u00a0: Marion du Faou\u00ebt et ses \u00abassoci\u00e9s\u00bb), published in 1910.In 1975, Colette Cosnier (fr) wrote a play casting Marion as a feminist hero, presenting an idea of Breton womanhood that was the opposite of the famously silent, obedient figure of B\u00e9cassine.[5] The play was titled “Marion du Faou\u00ebt\/The strumpet with red hair” (“Marion du Faou\u00ebt\/La catin aux cheveux rouges”).In 1997, a two-part TV movie of her life was made in France, Marion du Faou\u00ebt: Chef des Voleurs (Marion du Faou\u00ebt: Leader of Thieves),[6] starring Carole Richert as Marion.In 2009, Marion was the subject of the song “Marionig” on Alan Stivell’s album Emerald.In 2013, Marion du Faou\u00ebt was one of nine women featured in a campaign in Rennes with the slogan “Too few streets are named after women” (Trop peu de rues portent un nom de femmes): Marion was proposed as a notable Breton who deserved to be memorialized.[7] The Coeur de Bretagne (“Heart of Brittany”) travel listing for Le Faou\u00ebt names Marion as the area’s major historical figure.[8]References[edit]^ a b c d e f g Brice Evain, “La seconde vie de Marion du Faou\u00ebt”, Annales de Bretagne et des Pays de l\u2019Ouest, 121-1, 2014.
