Dominique-Mansuy Roget de Belloquet, knight and later baron Belloguet (French pronunciation: [dɔminik mɑ̃sɥi ʁɔʒɛ də bɛlɔkɛ]; 20 October 1760 – 9 January 1832), died at Rémelfing by Sarreguemines, Moselle, was a general of division of the First French Empire.
[1] Born on 20 October 1760 at Lorry-Devant-le-Pont, in the Kingdom of France, Roget entered military service in the 7th regiment of chasseurs à cheval (light cavalry), on 13 May 1777, as a simple trooper.
Recalled to the Army of the Rhine and Moselle, General Louis Desaix gave him command of the 13th Dragoon Regiment, which had achieved battle honors at Valmy four years earlier; at the Battle of Dierstein, he led the 13th in a charge and defeated the Austrian Regiment D'Alton, taking two flags and five cannons.
Under the cover of artillery fire, Roget drove the Austrian defenders back past the village of Eschen.
[2] In January 1813, the Allied offensive had reached the border regions between the German states and France.
He accused Roget of gross incompetence, and removed him from his post as military commander of Metz, appointing Durette in his place.
