M. Feraud was a French diplomat of the 18th century who went on a mission to resume official French East India Company contacts with Burma in 1769. He obtained a trade treaty, and the establishment of a French factory in the city of Rangoon. ==Embassy to Burma== The arrival of the embassy was facilitated by Chevalier Milard, a French officer in the service of the king of Burma, as Chief of the Guard.〔Keat Gin Ooi, p.611 ()〕 The king of Burma Hsinbyushin welcomed Feraud's embassy,〔''Burma: A Historical and Political Analysis'' - Page 17 by Frank N. Trager - 1966: "he acknowledged the presents of their ambassador, Feraud..."〕 and accepted Feraud's offer for trade, in exchange for the supply of guns and ammunitions.〔Keat Gin Ooi, p.611 ()〕 The king remitted a letter of agreement, which Feraud brought back to Pondicherry: Given the previous involvement of the French with the dissident Mon under Sieur de Bruno, the king of Burma clearly specified that French arm trade should involved him only.〔The Burmese Polity, 1752-1819 by William J. Koenig ()〕 As a result of the embassy, the French obtained a large ground in Rangoon where they were able to establish warehouses.〔SOAS, p.194〕〔The Burmese Polity, 1752-1819 by William J. Koenig ()〕 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「M. Feraud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
