Notes:

[1] His eldest son, Aymard-Marie, was guillotined three days later.

[3] This officer may be Charles-Francois-Ranier de Baschi, comte de Saint-Esteve (born Lisbon 31 July 1754; died Wolfensbuttel 28 October 1801), the son of a former French Ambassador to Portugal .

[4] This unit consisted of garrison and provincial troops.
