Jean François Aimé Dejean

[4] Dejean performed a variety of important missions as a consulate, including to Genoa, where he lived for nearly two years with the title of minister extraordinary.

The Emperor Napoleon soon afterwards made him a senator and a Trésorier de la légion-d'honneur (treasurer of the Legion of Honour).

[2] After the abdication of Napoleon in 1814, Dejean joined the Provisional Government, and performed the difficult task of extraordinary commissioner to Comte d'Artois (the future Charles X).

But in 1815, having accepted service under Napoleon Bonaparte during the Hundred Days, he was removed from all public offices on return of the Bourbon regime.

[5] In 1819 Dejean returned to the Chambre des Pairs (French House of Lords), where he consistently supported the liberal opposition.
