Louis-Henri Fourgeoud

Louis-Henri Fourgeoud (24 June 1717 – 6 April 1779) was a Swiss mercenary in the Dutch States Army who played a significant role in suppressing two major slave rebellions in Dutch Guiana. Born in Lausanne, Fourgeoud became an officer in Dutch service and spent much of his career in the Dutch colonial empire, particularly in Berbice and Surinam, where he suppressed the Berbice Rebellion in 1764 and fought against maroons during the 1770s.
