Armand-François Chateauvieux


Anne-François-Raymond de Choson de Lacombe called Armand-François Chateauvieux or A.-F.-R.-C.-L. Chateauvieux was a 19th-century French dramatist and playwright.

Biography

His plays have been performed among others at the Théâtre des Variétés, the Théâtre du Palais-Royal and the Théâtre de l'Ambigu-Comique. The absence of works represented or published between 1803 and 1815 can be explained by a sentence of 8 years of jail imposed on 29 prairial year XI by the Special Court of Paris for "forgery in authentic and public writing".
He arrived at the Brest Prison in July 1803, where he remained under no. 3052 until his release on 25 July 1811. A convinced bonapartist, he hailed the return of the Emperor from the Island of Elba by publishing l'Ambition de Napoléon dévoilée probably in March. After the fall of the Empire, he attacked Louis XVIII as soon as he returned to the throne, and had to take the road of exile to avoid a new stay in prison. The place and date of his death, which can be located between 1819, the date of publication of his last play, and 1833, the year in which his wife Marie-Anne Cayla was designated as "Lacombe widow" in the settlement of his estate at Figeac, remain unknown.
Chateauvieux is a trisaïeul of naturalist and ethnographer .
