Pierre-Denis, Comte de Peyronnet

An Ultra-royalist, he supported the Anti-Sacrilege Act, the 1827 law restricting press freedom, and the loi du droit d'aînesse.

On 26 October 1815, he was named president of the first instance Court of Bordeaux, and then, a year later, public prosecutor in Bourges.

Nominated general prosecutor at the Royal Court of Rouen, he was then called for on 14 December 1821 to become Minister of Justice (and remained so until 1828).

He was again Interior Minister from 30 August to 19 September 1826, and defended the press censorship bill (loi de justice et d'amour) of 1827.

Detained in the fort of Ham, he benefitted from a collective pardon issued by the first cabinet of Louis Mathieu Molé on 17 October 1836.
