Jacques-Joachim Dassier des Brosses (1747–1796) belonged to
a noble family from the Angoumois region, based in the
Confolens area. Admitted in 1761 as one of the pages of the King’s Grand Stables,
he subsequently became Lord, then Marquis, of Brosses. In 1775, he
married Julie-Agathe Garat de Saint-Priest. Around the same time, he had
a grand townhouse built in Confolens, known today
as the Hôtel Dassier des Brosses, a vast residence set between a courtyard and
a garden which still stands and now houses the town hall. On the eve
of the Revolution, he took part in the assemblies of the nobility convened
in Angoulême in 1789. Forced into exile during the
Revolution, he joined the Army of the Princes, whilst part of
his property was seized and sold as national property. His wife,
who remained in France, was arrested and subsequently executed in Paris in July 1794.
Jacques-Joachim Dassier des Brosses died in exile in Maastricht in
1796.
