BiographyFrançois Ripaud was born in Saffré, northwestern France, in a middle-class family. He enrolled as a sailor at aged 11, on the Le Palmier. In 1770, he reached Mauritius, where he married in 1784. He had two children.[1] In 1797, he sailed from Mauritius to Mangalore and sought a meeting with Tipu Sultan, in which he promised to raise a large force in Mauritius for the Sultan. In 1798, Ripaud came back to Mauritius with two envoys from Tipu Sultan. Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès, Governor-General of Île de France (Mauritius) made a proclamation, on 29 January 1798, seeking volunteers for an “expedition to travel to Mysore to assist Tipu in his resistance to British encroachment in south India”.[2] Approximately 100 men were recruited, and they left for Mangalore on the French frigate La Preneuse on 7 March 1798. The French involvement provided Governor-General Richard Wellesley with the pretext to invade Mysore, which culminated in the death of Tipu in May 1799.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://cs.asm.free.fr/montaudevert.htm |title=dgdgf |publisher=Cs.asm.free.fr |date= |accessdate=2014-03-10}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?284803 |title=The Tyrant Diaries | Francois Gautier |publisher=Outlookindia.com |date= |accessdate=2014-03-10}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.lib.mq.edu.au/digital/seringapatam/profiles/malartic.html |title=Seringapatam 1799: Malartic |publisher=Lib.mq.edu.au |date=2007-01-03 |accessdate=2014-03-10}} Bibliography
