La Bataille d' Heilsberg 1807

After Waterloo, Savary joined Napoleon on the HMS Bellerophon and was going to travel with the Emperor in exile on St. Helena; but the British instead arrested Savary and imprisoned him on Malta. He had been tried in France for treason and sentence to death. He escaped to Smyrna in the Ottoman Empire and became a merchant for several years before returning to France to stand trial. He was acquitted and released; but his role in the Duke of Enghien affair would proscribe any normal life in France while the Bourbons remained in power. He did write his

decidedly Bonapartist memoirs of his career in several volumes in 1828-1829. After the 1830 Revolution, he returned to full participation in French life. King Louis-Philippe appointed him Governor of Algeria in 1831. His rule was harsh, and he is considered responsible for a massacre of an Algerian tribe in 1832.

He returned to France, but his last days were cancer-ridden and he died in 1833. He is buried at the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
