He was the fourth son of a peasant proprietor of Lectourne, a little town on the slopes of the Pyrenees.

Incessantly fighting for fifteen days in his retreat towards the Pyrenees, he lost three thousand more of his men.

He was, for this reason, at once elected lieutenant-colonel of the volunteer legion of the Pyrenees.

This alliance was invented by Spain, which will never renounce its project of destroying the boundary of the Pyrenees.
