A Chivalrous Rebel. Raoul Magrin-Vernerey's Military Career in the Draw of the Mediterranean

Summary/Abstract: Throughout its history, France has built very close ties with the Mediterranean region, which has been partially under its own authority. During this process, several armed conflicts took place, in which soldiers of different backgrounds fought for French interests. one of the extraordinary individuals who had a successful career was Raoul Magrin Vernerey (alias Monclar). He realised many successful military and administrative missions at various points in the French colonial empire, while he went through nearly every stage of the armed forces' ranks. Moreover, this military officer, who is unfortunately little-known in Hungary, was born in Budapest, and he probably had Hungarian ancestors too. For this reason, in the study we are attempting to present the life-long career of this soldier with a remarkable past behind him. The most important points of his career were linked to the Mediterranean, and he made a significant contribution to the realization of the French major power plans.
