Jacques-Nicolas Fleuriot de La Freulière

Born

30 October 1738

Died

20 October 1824

A cavalry captain of the king’s guard and an uncle by marriage of Charette, Fleuriot de La Freulière was already fifty-four when he joined the insurrection in March 1793. He served as second-in-command to Bonchamps and, after his death at Saint-Florent, under Stofflet, and followed the army across the Loire. When republican gunboats cut the crossing at Ancenis in December, stranding the bulk of the army on the north bank without La Rochejaquelein or Stofflet, he was chosen to command what remained and led it to its destruction at Savenay six days later, the last commander-in-chief of the Catholic and Royal Army. He escaped, recrossed the Loire and joined Charette, and was present at the peace of La Jaunaye. He died at Oudon in 1824.
