William Lawless: an Irish and French revolutionary.
William Lawless, professor of anatomy and physiology (1794-98) at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), and a member of the United Irishmen, fled to France to avoid arrest and was expelled retrospectively by the College authorities. His subsequent career was that of a combatant officer in Napoleon's armies. He died on 27 December 1824 and was buried in Paris in the cemetery of Pere Lachaise. His name has recently been restored to the College rolls.
