Félix-Julien-Jean Bigot de Préameneu

Félix Julien Jean Bigot de Préameneu (French pronunciation: [feliks ʒyljɛ̃ ʒɑ̃ biɡo də pʁeamnø], 26 March 1747 – 31 July 1825) was one of the four legal authors of the Napoleonic Code written at the request of Napoleon at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

He professed moderate opinions and was among the defenders of Louis XVI, but he departed from parliamentary politics after the Commune, becoming a judge under the National Constituent Assembly and the Directory.

He was made a count of the empire on 24 April 1808, and became a peer of France during the Hundred Days.

He died on 31 July 1825 in Paris and is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery (14th division).

He is briefly mentioned in the Victor Hugo novel Les Miserables as the recipient of an angry letter regarding Bishop Myriel.
