  • Pierre Quétineau (1756-1794) was général en chef of the armée de l'Ouest during the French Revolution. In command in the Vendée at the time of the uprising there (1793), he was attacked by superior forces at the town of Bressuire (whose walls were in ruins and unable to hold off an assault) and retreated to Thouars. The Royalist rebels took the town and took him prisoner. However, despite being told by the Royalist generals that the National Convention would not forgive his defeat and despite their trying to hold onto him, Pierre Quétineau left to rejoin his army. He was judged by the Revolutionary Tribunal, condemned to death, and guillotined on 27 ventôse Year II (17 March 1794). His wife, Jeanne Latreille, appeared at the trial of Jacques René Hébert and the Hébertistes, and was also later guillotined (1794).
  • Pierre Quétineau fut général en chef de l'armée de l'Ouest. Commandant en Vendée, au moment du soulèvement (1793); attaqué par des forces supérieures dans la ville de Bressuire dont les murs tombaient en ruine, il fit retraite sur Thouars; les rebelles enlèvent la ville et le firent prisonnier. En vain les généraux lui démontrèrent que la Convention ne lui pardonnerait pas sa défaite, en vain ils essayèrent de le retenir; Pierre Quétineau remis en liberté voulut rejoindre son armée. Il est jugé par le Tribunal révolutionnaire, condamné à mort et guillotiné le 27 ventôse an II (17 mars 1794). Il avait épousé Jeanne Robert Latreille qui comparut au procès de Jacques René Hébert et des Hébertistes, elle aussi guillotinée (1794).
