Jean-Louis Pierrot

Jean-Louis Pierrot was a career officer and general in the Haïtian Army President of Haiti from 16 April 1845 to 1 March 1846.

Career

He became president of Haïti on 16 April 1845. During the first Haïtian Kingdom, Henry I promoted Pierrot to the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army and granted him the hereditary title of Prince. As President of Haïti, he was intended to be a figurehead for the Mulatto ruling class. A failure in that role, he was overthrown in a coup d'etat on 24 March 1846, after attempting reforms in the government.

He is known to have had a daughter, Marie Louise Amélia Célestine (Princess Pierrot), who in 1845 married Lieutenant-General Pierre Nord Alexis, a provincial governor under Emperor Faustin I, who later became Haïtian Minister for War from 1867 to 1869 and president of Haiti from 1902 to 1908.

Death

Pierrot died in 18 February 1857
