Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLACOURT, ETIENNE DE (16o7-1660) ,
French
 
governor
  of Madagascar, was born at Orleans in 16o7. He was named
governor
  of Madagascar by the
French
 
East
  India
Company
  in 1648. Flacourt restored order among the French soldiers, who had mutinied, but in his dealings with the natives he was less successful, and their intrigues and attacks kept him in continual harassment during all his
term
  of
office
 . In 1655 he returned to France. Not
long
  after he was appointed director general of the
company
 ; but having again returned to Madagascar, he was drowned on his voyage
home
  on the loth of June 166o. He is the author of a Histoire de la grande isle Madagascar (1st edition 1658, 2nd edition 1661).
See A. Malotet, Et. de Flacourt, ou les origines de la colonisation francaise a Madagascar (1648-1661), (Paris, 1898).
