Aide-de-camp to Kellermann (1795), squadron leader of hussars in the Army of Italy, he captured an Austrian battalion at Rivoli (January 14, 1797). He particularly distinguished himself at Stettin (October 30, 1806), then in Spain (1808-1809). Called to the German army, he fought at Essling (May 21-22, 1809) and was killed at Wagram (July 6).
