Claim: Georges Cadoudal, remaining true to his Royalist and Roman Catholic convictions during the start of the Revolution, organized a rebellion in the Morbihan against the National Convention of the First Republic.
Evidence: Georges Cadoudal (Breton: Jorj Kadoudal; 1 January 1771 – 25 June 1804), sometimes called simply Georges, was a Breton politician, and leader of the Chouannerie during the French Revolution. Born in Brech, in Brittany, after completing his education, he remained true to his Royalist and Roman Catholic convictions during the start of the Revolution. In spite of the defeat of his party, and of the fact that he was forced several times to take refuge in England, Cadoudal did not cease both to wage war and to conspire in favour of the Royalist pretender Louis, count of Provence. From 1793 he organized a rebellion in the Morbihan against the National Convention of the First Republic.
