Charles Jules-Joseph de Gaulle ([ʃaʁl(ə) də ɡol] ⓘ; 31 January 1837 – 1 January 1880) was a French writer who was a pioneer of Pan-Celticism and the bardic revival. He is also known as Charlez Vro-C'hall, the Breton language version of his name.
He was the uncle of the army officer and President of France Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), though he died ten years before the President's birth.
