About the author

Very little biographical information about Baron Robert Emmanuel Léon Du Casse is easy to confirm from major reference sources. Library records and digitized editions do show that he was born in 1849 and wrote in French under the name Baron Robert Du Casse.

The work most clearly associated with him is L'amiral Du Casse, chevalier de la Toison d'or (1646-1715), published in 1876. In that book, he recounts the life of Admiral Jean du Casse while also exploring the larger setting of French maritime and colonial history during the reign of Louis XIV.

Because reliable public sources on his life are limited, it is safest to remember him chiefly through that surviving historical study rather than through a fully documented personal biography.
