Jean-Pierre Lacombe-Saint-Michel

Jean-Pierre Lacombe-Saint-Michel, (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ pjɛʁ lakɔ̃b sɛ̃ miʃɛl]) born 5 March 1751 and died 27 January 1812 in the château de Saint-Michel-de-Vax (Tarn),[1] was a French general in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic armies.

He appeared as a character in Les Géorgiques by the novelist Claude Simon, his direct descendant.[2] During the French Revolution he protected Bernard-François Balssa (1746-1829), father of Honoré de Balzac; Balssa’s younger brother Jean had married his first cousin Marie-Brigitte Lacombe de Blanchefort in 1777.[3]
