Charles-Melchior Artus de Bonchamps, Marquis de Bonchamps (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁl mɛlkjɔʁ aʁtys də bɔ̃ʃɑ̃]; 10 May 1760 – 18 October 1793) was a French politician and leader of the Vendéan insurrection of Royalists against the Republic during the French Revolution. Born at Juvardeil, Anjou, he gained his first military experience in the American War of Independence, and on his return to France was made a captain of grenadiers in the French royal army. He was a staunch defender of the French monarchy, and at the outbreak of the Revolution, resigned his command and retired to his château at Saint-Florent-le-Vieil. Shortly before the revolution broke out, Bonchamps feared for his king and country and requested to be reinstated. Read more on Wikipedia
