Et Tu Brute could match, but Rewarded As A Traitor Deserves needs some precisions. Girondins were members of the Jacobins, but was Zamor close to the Girondins and influenced by them in denouncing the Du Barry ? It\'s not stated. His later ties with the Committee of Public Safety seem to hint that, to the contrary, he was close to the Montagnards, in which case the trope doesn\'t applies, as the traitor has to be betrayed by the very same faction/person he betrayed his previous friends/masters for. EnfantTerrible seems to be another appropriated trope for Zamor, as he\'s said to have been a mischievious child.

Besides, there\'s a chronological order/identification mistake in the Wikipedia article. Zamor couldn\'t have used his ties with the CoPS to have the Du Barry arrested, as in 1792 it simply didn\'t exist yet. The Du Barry page says that she was put under suspicion in 1792 and arrested in late 1793, which seems more logical. Besides, Zamor wasn\'t alone, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Grieve George Greive]] also played a key role and was the one who made the denunncation fatal to the Du Barry. The French Wikipedia page says that Greive was later identified as an English agant/spy.
