Bernard Desjean, Baron de Pointis

Bernard Desjean, Baron de Pointis (7 October 1645 – 24 April 1707) was a French Navy officer.

He took part in naval operations in the 1680s under Duquesne, like the bombardment of Algiers and the punitive action against Genoa.

[1] This raid was so successful that it made him immensely rich and very appreciated by King Louis XIV.

In 1702, after the death of Jean Bart, he was appointed head of the Dunkirkers, but he was soon replaced by Marc-Antoine de Saint-Pol Hécourt for lack of initiative.

After this battle Pointis retired from active service.
