Jean-Pierre Travo ( fr. Jean-Pierre Travot ; 1767 - 1836 ) - French revolutionary division general, baron of the Empire . He participated in the suppression of the Vendée rebellion and captured the rebel leader Charette , which ensured his career advancement. Grass loved Vendee , bought land there and enjoyed spending time. Local authorities later even regretted his departure from the region (one of them reached a protest sent to the Minister of War) [1] . Napoleon appointed Travo a senator , and later mentioned in his will. The general himself acted against the royalists in the Vendee, also suppressing the British attempts to assist the rebels with weapons. After the restoration, Bourbon was tried by a military court, which was biased enough, since it was chaired by the personal enemy of Travo. Sentenced to death, then the sentence was commuted to 20 years in prison. I went crazy in prison. He died in Paris. The name Travo is engraved on the Arc de Triomphe , two statues are installed for him [2] , a street in the town of Poligny (Jura department), where the general was born, is named after him.
