Biography:
Paul Gabriel d'Alichoux, Baron de Sénégra
(1774-1841)
Louis Bonaparte's classmate at the Valence artillery school, he followed him under the Empire to his kingdom of Holland.
Intendant General of Bonaparte's household, then Grand Master of the Royal House of Holland, he did not remain so for long, since in December 1807 Louis Bonaparte parted company with him, accusing him of embezzlement and even taking him to court.
The office of Grand Master of the King's Household was abolished after the disgrace of its holder in December 1807.
