Who was Dominique Martin Dupuy?
Dominique Martin Dupuy was a French revolutionary general of brigade.
The son of a baker from Toulouse, he engaged in the Régiment d'Artois before the French Revolution. In 1791, he was volunteer in the 1st battalion of the Haute-Garonne regiment, where he was soon elected junior lieutenant-colonel. He took part in the repression of royalist insurrections in Ardèche, then joined the Army of Italy, distinguishing himself at the battle of Lonato, where he commanded the 32nd Brigade. Military governor of Milan in 1797, he accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte in the expedition to Egypt, where he wrote, shortly after Pope Pius VI's death : "We are fooling Egyptians with our pretended interest for their religion; neither Bonaparte nor we believe in this religion more than we did in Pius the Defunct's one". He was murdered during the Revolt of Cairo. He had never ceased to correspond with the Jacobins from Toulouse.
