While the revolutionaries executed royalists, there were parts of rural France supporting the nobles and the clergy. My father was from royalist country, and as a child he read about the exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel (le Mouron Rouge). I was familiar with it as a child, too. I also believe part of the reason for the nickname relates to the fact that the plant Mouron Rouge (Scarlett Pimpernel) is a very potent poison.
