Aimé Picquet du Boisguy
French chouan (1776–1839)
Aimé Casimir Marie Picquet, chevalier du Boisguy, sometimes spelt Bois-Guy,, was a Breton chouan general during the French Revolution. He was nicknamed "the little general" by his men due to his youth. Still a child at the outbreak of the Revolution, he signalled his precocity to fight on the Royalist side, joining the Breton Association at 15 and becoming aide de camp to La Rouërie.
