Anne-Joseph-Hippolyte de Maurès de Malartic

Grave of Malartic in Port-Louis

Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès, Comte de Malartic (3 July 1730, Montauban - 28 July 1800, Port-Louis, Mauritius) was a French colonial governor and general, notable for his service in Canada and Mauritius.

During the French Revolutionary period, Malartic refused to give sailor captain Robert Surcouf a letter of marque, but ordered Surcouf's ship, the Émilie to go to the Seychelles to purchase tortoises as food for Isle de France.

Fate[]

Governor Malartic died at the age of 70. He suffered a stroke on 26 July 1800 while going to church, and died two days later.

The Canadian town of Malartic is named after him.
