- Aimé Casimir Marie Picquet, chevalier du Boisguy, sometimes spelt Bois-Guy, was a French chouan general during the French Revolution. He was nicknamed "the little general" by his men due to his youth. Still a child at the outbreak of the Revolution, he signalled his precocity to fight on the Royalist side, joining the Association bretonne at 15 and becoming aide de camp to La Rouërie. At 17 he was made leader of the chouannerie in the pays de Fougères, and a general at 19. Boisguy made the north-east of the Ille-et-Vilaine one of the most active areas of the Breton chouannerie, and showed himself an excellent tactician. Rarely beaten, the chouans there were among the best organised and best disciplined. Fighting in uniform from the end of 1795 and made up of elite troops, even so they suffered from a lack of cavalry and a near-total lack of artillery. The Republicans had to raise major forces to defeat them, and then only with difficulty. In both 1796 and 1800, Boisguy was the last general to surrender, making him one of the main figures of the chouannerie.
- Aimé Casimir Marie Picquet, chevalier du Boisguy, né le 15 mars 1776 à Fougères, et mort le 25 octobre 1839 à Paris, était un général chouan pendant la Révolution française. Il était surnommé « le petit général » par ses hommes, en raison de son jeune âge. Encore enfant lors du début de la Révolution française, il se distingua par un engagement royaliste précoce, à 15 ans, il rejoignit l'Association bretonne et devint aide de camp de Armand Tuffin de La Rouërie. Dés lors son influence grandit, à 17 ans il prit la tête des chouans du pays de Fougères et de Vitré, et à 19 ans, il fut reconnu général. Chef actif et excellent tacticien, Boisguy fit des pays de Fougères et de Vitré la zone la plus importante de la chouannerie d'Ille-et-Vilaine et l'une des principales de Bretagne. Il commandait des troupes disciplinées, bien organisées, souvent en uniforme mais manquant de cavalerie et surtout d'artillerie. Aussi bien à la pacification de 1796, qu'à celle de 1800, Boisguy fut le dernier général chouan à déposer les armes, ce qui en fit une des figures majeure de la chouannerie.
