Camille Charles Leclerc, Chevalier de Fresne

Camille Charles Le Clerc de Fresne, known as Chevalier de Fresne (1741-1797) was Governor General of Mauritius (1785) and Puducherry from 1789 to 1792 in the French Colonial Empire.

Significant event in his life

He married in Puducherry on the 20 of June 1788 with Emilie-Thomase de Solminihac (1770-1846), who was a widow in 1797.

One significant event occurred in his tenure was Mr. Pierre Sonnerat, Chief of Yanam, was involved in the business along with other traders. Pierre Sonnerat's commercial involvement brought serious consequences to his administrative post (Chief of Yanam). The petitions were made against Pierre Sonnerat in this connection, to Chevalier de Fresne, the then French Governor General in Puducherry. On 5 June 1790 a French man "De Mars" complained against Pierre Sonnerat for the first time.
