STOFFLET, JEAN NICOLAS (1751-1796)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 939 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STOFFLET, JEAN NICOLAS (1751-1796) , Vendean general, was born at Luneville, the son of a miller.
Long
  a private soldier in a Swiss
regiment
  in France, and afterward' game-keeper to the comte de Colbert-Maulevrier, he joined the Vendeans when they rose against the Revolution to defend their religious and royalist principles. During the war in La Vendee he served first under Gigot d'Elbee, fought at Fontenay,
Cholet
  and Saumur, and distinguished himself at the battles of Beaupreau,
Laval
  and Antrain. He was appointed major-general of the royalist army, and in 1794 succeeded La Rochejaquelein as
commander
 -in-
chief
 . But his quarrels with another Vendean
leader
 , F. A. Charette, and the reverses sustained by the Vendean arms, led him to give in his submission and to accept the terms of the treaty of La Jaunaie (May 2, 1795). He, however, soon violated this treaty, and at the instigation of royalist agents took arms in December 1795 on behalf of the
count
  of
Provence
  (the future Louis XVIII.), from whom he had received the rank of marechal-de-camp. This last attempt of Stofflet's failed completely. He was taken prisoner by the republicans, condemned to death by a military commission, and shot at Angers on the 23rd of
February
  1796.
See General d'Andigne, Memoires, edited by E. Eire (19001901) ; C. Loyer, "
Cholet
  sous la domination de Stof(let," in L'Anjou historique, vol. iii. (1902-1903).
