306 It is mainly a conflict between General Coutanceau, Governor of Verdun, and General Joffre, Commander-in-Chief. An unusual conflict that will lead to the loss of tens of thousands of French soldiers. Son of Alexis Coutanceau, former long-distance French captain and Jeanne Rolando, Michel Henri Marie Coutanceau was born in Port-Louis on July 15, 1855 and left Mauritius for France in March 1868. He completed his classes at the Sainte-Barbe college in Paris, then entered the École Polytechnique in 1873.

Having left among the top 40, he was able to choose a career in military engineering and entered the army as a second lieutenant; he was captain in 1879. Until the war, he progressed from grade to grade, fulfilling various tasks and commands during which he stood out in particular for his ability to teach history. Colonel in 1904, commander of the 3rd Engineer regiment in Arras in 1905, and chief of staff of the 7th army corps in 1907. Brigadier-general in 1909, of division, in 1912, he was appointed on May 14 of this year governor-commander of the citadel of Verdun and the forts of Hauts-de-Meuse.

313 Lanzarote de Agrela belonged to the important family of Agrelas de Alenquer, and must be the son of another Lanzarote, who was very active in the region of Machico in the first two decades of the 17th century. The name Lançarote is atypical, however, portraying the adventurous spirit of its time, full of sea voyages and discoveries, as correctly stated by Joaquim Teophilo Braga in his work História da Literattura Portugueza (1871). If the hypothesis of my ancestor's affiliation is correct, then I believe that Lanzarote was born in Machico, where he was educated in his father's business dealings. Around 1540, he moved to Calheta, where he managed a property in the village of Prazeres. It was possibly there that he met Ana Morante, whose affiliation remains unknown. Out of this love, three girls were born before they got married. Surely, under pressure from the family, they were forced to marry in 1552 in Calheta. Soon after this marriage, they moved to Funchal, settling in Carreira Velha dos Cavalos, where Lançote's aunt, Catarina de Agrela (+ 31.III.1553) lived. In Funchal they had three more children. With the death of his aunt Catarina, Lanzarote became his heir and executor. Despite this patrimonial gain, the family's wealth declined in the following years, perhaps due to financial losses (Additions: 455-459 by Ernesto Gonçalves in Menezes Vaz 1964) in the sugar culture, so common on the island. In 1563 he was already an Ordinary Judge of the Funchal City Council, being re-elected on 13.I.1570 (Vereações, f8, no ADF) (Menezes Vaz, 1960, pg 457). Lanzarote died in Funchal on 21.I.1581, but left no will, but a mention in his death seat in the Funchal Cathedral, where he says he was buried in the Monastery of the Nuns:

(L5 f94) # On January 23, 1581 the habitual death in this city of Funchal LANÇAROTE DAGRELLA moved into the Musteiro das Freiras with the constitutions of this bishopric and his water ANNA MORANTE obliged to make him three officers according to his charity and the said cure I wrote it \\ Vicente Affonso.

His impoverished widow, Ana Morante, was exempt from paying the sum of 200 $ 000 reais to put two daughters in the Santa Clara convent. This was done thanks to the intervention made by her cousin Joana Rodrigues de Mondragão, sister of her eponymous cousin, as attested by an excerpt from Joana's will dated 28.II.1594:

(....) I declare that I took Zenóbio Achiole, my son-in-law, two hundred thousand reais owed to him by the nuns and for the purpose of Lanzarote de Agrella and his wife, my cousin, to put two daughters in the monastery, the koalas two hundred thousand reais , if there is a farm of the dittos Lanzarote de Agrella and his wife to pay themselves, I order that they do not speak to him and pay them (....) (source: Additions: 455-459 in Menezes Vaz 1964)

In the text above, it is clear that Joana transformed the amount that Zenóbio would receive from the Nuns of Santa Clara, in the amount that the widow Ana would have to pay to put her daughters in the same convent. Passing the debt to Joana. In 1598, possibly, with Ana already deceased, the debt proved to be unpayable for also widow Joana, who wrote in her codex the following term:

(....) to the heirs of Lanzarote de Agrella, because they owed them according to the script made for the said Lanzarote de Agrella (....) (source: Additions: 455-459 in Menezes Vaz 1964)

If the family were not in a position to honor such debt, Joana's codicle stipulated that the amount should be deducted from the larger amount of assets she left and paid to her son-in-law.

315 LESAGE, Bibye (1780 - 1843)
Soldier, merchant and politician. Born in London in 1780, son of Augustine Lesage and of Diana Stockton. He arrived in Mauritius with the British expedition and at the taking of the island was a lieutenant in the 22nd Foot. In 1812 he went over to Seychelles to replace Bartholomew Sullivan as civil commandant and agent. He came back to Mauritius on 7 February 1815, was soon promoted
captain and appointed the same year A.D.C. to governor Farquhar. When the news of the Port Lucquez disaster reached Mauritius (3 March 1816) he was despatched to Madagascar to obtain redress for the murder of the British agents Blenman, Burch, Butler and O’Brien. He left on 23 April and returned on 16 September, after having succeeded in causing one of the murderers to be hanged and in obtaining for the English an offer of 800 oxen as compensation for material damage suffered
by them. In November 1816 he went on a second mission to Madagascar with Farquhar’s instructions to show towards the natives great mildness and perfect toleration in religion, to encourage marriages between English soldiers and free women and to found a school at Aucerre. He was above all to prevail on King Radama to stop the slave trade with Mauritius, as there was a law against importing in new slaves, and this task was continued after him by James Hastie (q.v.). Having fulfilled his mission he returned on 13 April 1817 and shortly afterwards was sent again as government agent to Seychelles which he administered until 1819. On 27 July 1819 he left Mahé for Mauritius on the
schooner Six Sœurs (captain Hodoul), but five days later fire broke out on board the vessel which had to be abandoned. On this occasion he showed outstanding bravery and the passengers, among whom were six-year-old Félicien Mallefille (q.v.) and his mother, owed the safety of their lives to his courage. In 1820 Lesage was a land-owner residing at Moka and owned, with Charles Telfair (q.v.)
and others, the Bel Ombre sugar estate besides other lands at Moka, Flacq and Black River. He afterwards settled in Port Louis where he took to commerce and soon rose to a high position among the leading traders of the colony. On 9 October 1827 he was elected member of the Chamber of Commerce created by Sir Lowry Cole on 27 September of the same year. He also became an affiliated
member for Port Louis of the Comité Colonial which held its first general meeting on 25 January 1827. On 1 May 1828 he was among the mob which hooted at Sir Hudson Lowe (q.v.). After accusation levelled at Farquhar in Parliament and at Telfair in the Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter No. 44, he wrote to Telfair on 10 September 1829 : "… little did I think it was possible to hear Sir R.
Farquhar, yourself, and all who had the honour to serve under his government, aspersed in Parliament and before the British public as guilty of crimes … The charges of slave-dealing having been satisfactorily disproved by the papers produces to the House of Commons, the equally groundless charge of cruelty and wholesale butchery of the slaves of Mauritius, now imputed to the inhabitants of
the colony, and to yourself most prominently by the A.S.M.R. will be more easily refuted … The chains, hooks and collars described by the A.S.M.R. are matters of pure invention … all that he says about yourself and Bel Ombre is a rhapsody of disgusting folly, a tissue of barefaced falsehoods". On
15 October 1832 Sir Charles Colville (q.v.) appointed him Inspector of Guildives and Assistant to John Finniss (q.v.), Chief Commissary of Police. On 19 October 1840, while attending to a fire which broke out at Plaine Verte, he was victim of an accident from which he never completely recovered. He died in Port Louis on June 27, 1843, aged 64. Le Cernéen of 4 July 1843 paid him this tribute :
"...On the rare occasions in which national prejudice and intestine quarrels have, now and then, divided our population, he was ever conspicuous for his impartiality and the perseverance with which he supported the good cause, at his own risk, and without distinction as to the origin of his opponents
and partisans...". He had married firstly Ann Ruth Mason who died in England in 1812. He afterwards married at Moka, on 6 April 1815, Rosalie Nicolaide Olivier, born 4 March 1792, who survived him until 29 June 1849. His son Napoleon became Receiver of Registration Dues and died in Curepipe on
28 April 1899, aged 76.

325 Louis-Laurent de Féderbe (also spelled Fayd'herbe) was born on June 25, 1725 in Barraux, in the department of Isère.

Heir to a noble Dauphinoise family, he spent a happy childhood at Fayet Castle, owned by his father, the Count of Modave. Very quickly, the boy shows surprising dispositions for learning letters and history. Curious, alert and fond of escape, he decides, once he is tall, to enlist in the army, where his talents hold the attention of Louis-François de Bourbon, 6th prince of Conti, who makes him his assistant. camp. It was not until the 1740s that Federbe was able to quench his thirst for adventure: appointed governor of Fort Dauphin, he embarked for Madagascar, where he quickly proved himself, even to the point of being decorated with the Order of Saint Louis. In 1757, while serving as aide-de-camp to the Earl of Lally-Tollendal, he left for India,
In fact, in 1738, Governor Pierre-Benoît Dumas initiated a campaign to expand the French colonies on a territory predominantly occupied by the English; an operation which, the following year, would lead to the capture of Karikal, in the heart of Pondicherry ... It was precisely here that Féderbe landed in 1757 to marry the daughter of the governor, Marie Nicole Porcher des Oulches, allowing him to become governor of the city in turn.

Seven years passed between France and India, before his functions ended in 1764 when he planned to take the city of Madras, a choice strongly criticized by his entourage. Turning to the island of Madagascar, the very first stopover of his escapades, he then tried to create a French company there.
