Prefect of Marne
|
Claude-Laurent Bourgeois de Jessaint (26 April 1764 – 8 January 1853) was a French aristocrat and civic administrator. Born into an aristocratic family, he was a classmate of Napoleon Bonaparte at the military academy at Brienne-le-Château. A moderate supporter of the 1789 French Revolution de Jessaint was afterwards installed as mayor of Bar-sur-Aube. After a purge of aristocrats he lost his position in 1797. De Jessaint was appointed prefect of the Marne department in 1800, under Napoleon's consulship. He remained in this role until he requested retirement in 1838. He held the position through numerous regime changes and was the only pre-1828 prefect to stay in post after the 1830 July Revolution. De Jessaint received many honours, including knighthoods and appointment as a baron and then viscount, though the latter titles were abolished under the French Second Republic (1848).
