Following the failure of the Quiberon expedition in July 1795, Puisaye's commandment was questioned, and the army was broken into factions, especially with the "army of Morbihan" commanded by Cadoudal who didn't recognize the authority of the Lieutenant General. Other factions were the "army of the Côtes du Nord", and the "army of Maine, Anjou and of Haute-Bretagne". Puisaye was only recognized by the "army of Rennes and Fougères", although he still gathered support from the princes.
