Other notes:
We know that Bahorel was politically active in 1822, so was probably appreciably older than most of the others. Grantaire at one point remarks that he is the same age as Bossuet. How accurate this may be is of course debatable. ;) Other contributions are welcome. If characters are not listed here, the researcher could not find any clues in the text of the novel, i.e., we just don't know.
