Charles Philippe Marie Antoine de Clérembault (1806?–1878) was a
French Major General. Son of Louis de Clérembault, knight,
Lord of Penhouët, French Consul-General in Prussia and
artillery officer, and Aimée du Coëtlosquet (? 1870), he married Louisa
Boussemart de Thiennes (1816–1876). In 1864, he commanded the
cavalry division of the 3rd Corps of the Army of the Rhine. During the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870, he was taken prisoner after the Battle of
Sedan. That same year, he was elevated to the rank of Grand Officer of
the Legion of Honour.
He wears the medals of the Order of St Gregory the Great as well as
those of the Legion of Honour. The red flag also bears the
coat of arms of the Clérembault family, recognisable by its uprooted oak tree,
in accordance with the blazon: ‘Argent, an uprooted oak tree
of sinople.’
