Louis-Charles de La Motte-Ango, vicomte de Flers (12 June 1754, Paris – 22 July 1794, Paris), joined the French Royal army and rose in rank to become a general officer in the French Revolutionary Wars. After serving in the Austrian Netherlands, he was appointed to command the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees. He led his troops in several actions with mixed results, but the all-powerful Representatives-on-mission arrested him in August 1793 for a minor setback. The Committee of Public Safety executed him by guillotine on trumped up charges near the end of the Reign of Terror.
