Pierre Quétineau

Pierre Quétineau (1756 – 17 March 1794) was a general officer in the Army of the Coasts of La Rochelle during the War in the Vendée.

In the Battle of Thouars on 5 May 1793 the Vendean rebels captured the town and took him and his troops prisoner.

He and his captured troops were released but when he reached Saumur he was arrested and thrown into prison.

The Royalist generals asked him to join them, pointing out that the National Convention would not forgive his defeat.

His wife, Jeanne Robert Latreille appeared at the trial of Jacques Hébert and the Hébertists, and was also later guillotined in 1794.
