Mathieu-Cyprien Renaudin (27 March 1757 in Saint-Denis d'Oléron – ?) was a French Navy officer. He was the cousin of Jean François Renaudin.〔Diaz de Soria, p.27〕 == Career == Renaudin started sailing as a seaman in 1781 before rising to Ensign on the 20-gun corvette ''Perdrix''.〔 On 13 May 1793, he was appointed first officer to the frigate ''Andromaque'', under Jean François Renaudin, on which he sustained a fight against a ship of the line and four Spanish frigates.〔Levot, p.431〕 On 26 February 1794, Renaudin was appointed first officer on the 74-gun ''Vengeur du Peuple'', still under his cousin. He took part in the Glorious First of June, survived the sinking of ''Vengeur'' and was taken prisoner by the British.〔 His report states that he refused to follow Captain Renaudin when he abandoned his ship, and stayed behind to attempt and rescue the wounded of ''Vengeur''.〔Diaz de Soria, p.57〕 In 1800, Renaudin was Captain, and was Perrée's flag officer on ''Généreux'' at the Battle of the Malta Convoy.〔Fonds Marine, p.239〕 There, he was captured with the surrender of ''Généreux''. He was subsequently honourably acquitted during the automatic court-martial for the loss of his ship.〔Troude, vol.2, p.199〕 A street of Saint Denis d'Oléron was named in his honour.〔(Localisation pour les 120 adresses de la carte entière de Saint Denis d'Oléron )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cyprien Renaudin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
