French commissioning brevet issued on February 10, 1792
13 x 9 1/2 inches
This document is a commissioning brevet issued on February 10, 1792, in Coblence by the French Princes in exile, Louis Stanislas-Xavier and Charles Philippe, Comte d'Artois. The document appoints the Sieur Comte Duclusel as a captain in the newly formed "Corps des Compagnies d'ordonnance d'hommes d'armes à pied" (Body of Ordinance Companies of Dismounted Men-at-Arms).
Historical Context
- Signatories: The Princes were the brothers of King Louis XVI, who had fled France during the French Revolution. Louis Stanislas-Xavier would later become King Louis XVIII, and Charles Philippe would become King Charles X.
- Location and Date: The document was signed in Coblence, a city on the Rhine that served as a major center for the émigré royalist army (the armée des Princes) gathering to counter the French Revolution in 1792.
- Purpose: The commission was part of the effort to organize a royalist army in exile, composed of individuals who were "attached to the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religion, to the French monarchy and to the King our brother".
- Appointee's Background: The Comte Duclusel is recognized for his service as a former captain and colonel in the prestigious Régiment des Gardes Françaises (Regiment of French Guards), a position that granted him rank among infantry colonels in the new army.
- Countersignature: The document is countersigned by the Maréchal (Marshal) Daz de Broglia, the commander of the new corps.
