About Nicolas-Joseph Beaurepaire

  • Nicolas-Joseph Beaurepaire (7 January 1740, Coulommiers, Seine-et-Marne – 2 September 1792) was a French officer. Born in Coulommiers, he commanded the defense of Verdun against the invading Allied armies of the First Coalition, shortly before they were stopped at the Battle of Valmy.
  • He chose death by suicide to avoid the dishonor of surrendering Verdun. He was buried in the Panthéon, though his body has since disappeared.
