In Prison[edit]

On 10 June 1810, Sarrazin went over to the British and revealed French weaknesses. Condemned in absentia to death by a conseil de guerre, he did not return to France until the Bourbon Restoration. He offered his services to Napoléon Bonaparte during the Hundred Days, but was thrown in prison. Pardoned in 1822, he went into exile in London and then Brussels, where he died

Why exactly was he in jail ? It's understandable that Bonaparte wanted to punish him, and that he had him thrown in jail: but why would the Royalist administration keep him in jail for betraying Bonaparte's lot ? Claverhouse (talk) 09:35, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
