No biography is available for this general.
"Philippe Egalite" was the name adopted by Louis-Philippe, the duc de Chartres, duc d'Orleans, and brother of the French king Louis XVI. A liberal politician and enthusiastic supporter of the revolution. With his sons, he commanded a French corps in the Valmy and Jemappes campaigns. This service failed to convince the new powers in the land of his sincerity and usefulness and "General Egalite" was executed in November 1793 after his son, the then Duc de Chartres, fled with General Dumouriez in the spring of 1793. Another son of "General Egalite," the Duc de Castres, became a general in the Austrian army after he left France. X 92 Valmy; X 93 Neerwinden
