Charles Edward Jennings de Kilmaine
Charles Edward Jennings (19 October 1751 – 11 December 1799), commonly known as Brave Kilmaine, was a revolutionary and one of the greatest Irish soldiers to serve France in the eighteenth century. A gallant and celebrated general, philanthropist and baron, he was committed both to the cause of Irish independence and to that of the French Revolution. A devoted friend to Theobald Wolfe Tone and a close confidant of Napoleon I, he has been described as the only officer Bonaparte ever trusted completely.
Kilmaine is remembered and honored for his services in the American War of Independence and more significantly in the French Revolutionary Wars, to which he devoted most of his life. Often Irish historians fail to recognize the importance Kilmaine's contribution also brought to the ignition of an Irish Republic. Kilmaine was known for his extreme personal reserve and as one of the most charismatic Irish generals of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic period, focused his energies on liberating Ireland from British rule.
==Early life==
Son of Dr. Theobald Jennings and Lady Eleanor Saul, he was born on 19 October 1751 at his mother's residence at Sauls Court, Dublin. His father, a prominent physician, descended from an ancient Irish family 'Mac sheoinín' (meaning "son of little Sean", a subset of the great Burke family) which had always been strongly attached to the Irish Catholic religion, and opposed to the interests of England. His father was of Polaniran (Ironpool), Tuam, County Galway – see Soraca Jonin – left Ireland in 1738 and settled in the town of Tonnay-Charente in the south-west of France with his wife. The latter, finding that she was about to become a mother, left France for Dublin in 1751 in order that her child might be born in his native land. Young Jennings was reared in Saul's Court in Temple Bar, Dublin with his relatives. As there were few opportunities for Catholics due to discriminatory anti-Catholic Penal Laws at the age of 11 years he left Ireland and joined his father in France. Kilmaine was educated in Tonnay-Charente and quickly becoming proficient in the French language.
