GUYON, RICHARD DEBAUFRE (1803-1856) , British soldier, general in the Hungarian revolutionary army and Turkish pasha, was born at Walcot, near Bath, in 1803. After receiving a military education in England and in
Austria
  he entered the Hungarian hussars in 1823, in which he served until after his
marriage
  with a daughter of Baron Spleny, a general officer in the imperial service. At the outbreak of the Hungarian War in 1848, he re-entered active service as an officer of the Hungarian Honveds, and he won
great
  distinction in the action of Sukoro (September 29, 1848) and the
battle
  of Schwechat (October 30). He added to his reputation as a
leader
  in various actions in the winter of 1848-1849, and after the
battle
  of Kapolna was made a general officer. He served in important and sometimes independent commands to the end of the war, after which he escaped to Turkey. In 1852 he entered the service of the
sultan
 . He was made a pasha and
lieutenant
 -general without being required to
change
  his faith, and rendered distinguished service in the campaign against the Russians in
Asia
 
Minor
  (1854-55). General Guyon died of cholera at Scutari on the 12th of October 1856.
