Vendee leaders




Thought I would put up a few pictures of Vendee leaders off the web, truthfully I've just figured out how to do this or I would have been including this sort of thing on here before. Like I said I'm learning as I go!

Henri de La Rochejaquelein, leader of the
revolt in the Vendee
Royalist officer Francois de Charette. After a long guerilla campaign Charette was shot in Nantes after a perfunctory trial, refusing a blindfold and giving the orders to his own firing squad.
Maurice Joseph Louis Gigost d’ElbĂ©e, he became the second commander of the Royal and Catholic Army upon the death of Jacques Cathelineau. D’Elbee suffered a grievous wound at the Battle of Cholet in October 1793.
