Guys I'm in the midst of outlining my timeline and I would like to do a plausibility check on an aristocrat like the Marquis De Sade becoming the head of state/government of the First French Republic during the revolutionary period.

My questions:

Could an aristocrat serving in the National Convention hope to advance his station?

How reactive were the foreign powers to the Church of Reason?

Much appreciated.
