About the author
Born in 1834 or 1835 and died in 1914, Charles de Batz-Trenquelléon was a French writer, historian, and journalist. Reference sources describe him as a man of letters with a wide output, and one record identifies him as Charles-Joseph-Henry de Batz-Trenquelléon.
He contributed to literary and press culture in several ways: biographical records describe him as a novelist, poet, playwright, and journalist, and also note the pseudonym Georges Linois. Bru Zane further identifies him as a historian and journalist, including work connected with La Guyenne in Bordeaux.
His surviving bibliography shows a clear taste for historical subjects alongside literary writing. Today he is remembered less as a single-genre author than as a versatile figure whose books and articles linked regional history, public life, and literature in late 19th-century France.
