This article brings to light the considerable absenteeism in the Convention during Spring 1793, at the moment when the Girondin-Montagnard struggle reached its decisive moment. The article examines the desire of tens of deputies to stay away from partisan confrontations, a position often made a posteriori by historiography as another political dismissal. Often interpreted as the centrism of moderates unworthy of scholarly interest, this article suggests that new vistas can be opened on the Convention’s moderates, and that by restoring its place in the Revolution, some historical loose ends will be tied up.
