This article appears in Volume V21, Page 184 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PERRON, PIERRE CUILLIER (1755-1834) , French military adventurer in India, whose name was originally Pierre Cuillier, was born in 1755 at Chateau du Loire in France, the son of a
cloth
  merchant. In 1780 he went out to India as a sailor on a French frigate, deserted on the Malabar
coast
 , and made his way to upper India, where he enlisted in the rana of Gohad's corps under a Scotsman named Sangster. In 1790 he took` service under De
Boigne
 , and was appointed to the command of his second brigade. In 1795 he assisted to win the battle of Kardla against the nizam of Hyderabad, and on De
Boigne
 's retirement became
commander
 -in-
chief
  of Sindhia's army. At the battle of Malpura (1800) he defeated the Rajput forces. After the defeat of Ujjain (1891) he refused to send his troops to the aid of Sindhia. His treachery on this occasion shook his position, and on the outbreak of war between Sindhia and the British in 1803 Perron was superseded and fled to the British camp. In the battles of Delhi, Laswari and Assaye, Perron's battalions were completely destroyed by Lord Lake and
Sir Arthur
Wellesley
 . He returned to France with a large fortune, and died in 1834.
See H. Compton, European Military Adventurers of Hindustan (1892).
