Charles Sapinaud de La Rairie

Born

31 December 1760

Died

10 August 1829

A cadet of the régiment de Foix who resigned his lieutenancy in 1789, Sapinaud de La Rairie joined the rising under his uncle and succeeded to his command in the army of the Centre when he was killed in July 1793. Separated from the army in the rout at Le Mans, he regained the Vendée and led the army of the Centre against the columns in 1794. He was one of the four generals who swore mutual assistance in April 1794, and refused to vote for Marigny’s death. He signed the peace of La Jaunaye in February 1795, for which Stofflet sent men to arrest him, and the peace of Montfaucon in January 1800. He commanded briefly in 1815 and signed the armistice at Cholet. He died at the château du Sourdis in 1829.
