Christophe, Henry, King of Haiti
CHRISTOPHE, HENRY, KING OF HAITI. (c. 1757–1767–1820). Christophe, king of Haiti (1811–1820), supposedly took part in the attack against Savannah on 9 October 1779. Frances Heitman claims he was in the legion commanded by Fontanges. Hubert Cole, however, suggests that he may have fought either as a free infantryman or as an enslaved orderly for a French officer.
