- Jacques Gervais, baron Subervie
Jacques Gervais, baron Subervie (September 1, 1776 - March 10, 1856) was a French general and politician.
Under Napoleon I
Subervie served as a French commander during the Napoleonic Wars, during which he mainly commanded cavalry troops. He commanded the "10th Chasseur Regiment" in the Battle of Talavera in 1809. Subervie was made a "général de brigade" in 1811 and a "général de division" in early April 1814, a promotion which was annulled a couple of days later.
During the Hundred Days, Subervie was given the 5th cavalry division (1,487 men and 6 guns) in the I Cavalry Corps of General Pajol with which he served in the Battle of Ligny. Detached from his parent corps, Subervie's division accompagnied the Army of the North and Napoléon to Waterloo. At Waterloo, after the emperor noted that the Prussians were marching to aid the Duke of Wellington, he was send together with Lobau's VI Infantry Corps to hold the French right flank while the emperor faced Wellington. In this capacity he was involved in fighting the Prussians around Plancenoit.
Later life
Subervie served as Inspector-General of cavalry in 1840. He served as the Provisional Government of the French Second Republic's Minister of War from February 25 1848 to March 20 1848.
Subervie was a Grand Officier of the "Légion d'honneur" and held the title of "Baron d’Empire" during the Second French Empire.
