He was a French General commanding the 7th Regiment of the Line at Grenoble, when Napoleon returned from exile in Elba and marched north to Paris. On 8 March, la Bédoyère and his regiment were the first to went over to Napoleon en masse. At the Battle of Waterloo, de la Bédoyère was one of the last to leave the battlefield. Afterward, finding that he was not eligible for amnesty as he believed, he secretly travelled to Paris in order to see his wife before heading to Switzerland and exile, but was recognized and arrested. La Bédoyère was tried by a military court and condemned to death by firing squad, and this was confirmed and carried out at the plain of Grenelle on 19 August 1815.
