Extractions: Allan Badley Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was widely regarded as the most accomplished man of his age. Not only was he among the most important musicians in Paris during the pre-Revolutionary period but he was also a superb all-round athlete and man of arms. Among connoisseurs of the art of fencing Saint-Georges was considered the finest swordsman in Europe, possessed of extraordinary speed, flexibility and grace, qualities which he also exhibited in abundance as a violinist. The combination of artist, athlete and man of action - for he also held military commands during the Revolutionary period - is unique in the history of music and the man himself scarcely less extraordinary than the phenomenal range of his talents. In 1747, while paying a visit to his uncle Samuel de Bologne, George became involved in a scuffle with a fellow guest. Le Vanier St-Robert was wounded on the nose but was able to return home unaided. Three days later he died, probably of infection rather than from the wound itself, and Saint-George found himself accused of murder. He fled Basse-Terre and on 31 March 1748 was convicted and sentenced in absentia to "be hanged and strangled until death ensues on the gallows erected in the corner of the public square in this town of Basseterre" and had all his good confiscated. The hanging was carried out in effigy on 25 October 1748. A note appended to his dossier tells us that Bologne Saint-George was subsequently pardoned the date is not recorded but it must have been before 1755 when he is known to have been back in Basse Terre.

Extractions: The word "Chevalier" means "Knight" in French. It was a title of nobility in the Kingdom of France. Joseph could not inherit his father's status as a member of the nobility, because his mother was an African. Nevertheless, he was called "Chevalier de Saint-Georges" from a young age. When he became an adult he signed his surname "Saint-George" and that became the customary spelling in French.
