Marquis De La Piconnerie, Duc D'Isly, Marshal of France, and Governor-General of Algeria
: In 1848, Bugeaud was in Paris during the revolution, but his orders prevented him from acting effectively to suppress it. He was asked, but eventually refused, to be a candidate for the presidency in opposition to Louis Napoleon. His last public service was the command of the army of the Alps, formed in 1848?1849 to observe events in Italy. He died in Paris in 1849. (From: Wikipedia.org.)
