“I go to my death with a valiant heart. I will be hungry, I will be thirsty, but if necessary I will eat of this earth and drink my blood!”
1763. In the Couesnon region, on the border between Brittany and Normandy, a band of children fought injustice, led by the most intrepid of them all: a nobleman by the name of Armand de La Rouërie. Fatherless and a rebellious soul, he wanted to serve his king. A few years later, having been dismissed from the French Guards, he left to fight in America against the English. Colonel Armand’s bravery and feats of arms were noticed by the Founding Fathers of the United States. Washington promoted him to general.
When he returned to France, the heat of the Revolution swept through Brittany. La Rouërie burnt himself out and became a pariah.
I will drink my own blood vividly portrays the fate of a valiant Breton who, more than anything else, loved freedom.
