François Pouqueville

François Charles Hugues Laurent Pouqueville (French: [pukvil]; 4 November 1770 – 20 December 1838) was a French diplomat, writer, explorer, physician and historian, and member of the Institut de France. He traveled extensively throughout Ottoman-occupied Greece from 1798 to 1820; first as the Turkish sultan's hostage, then as Napoleon Bonaparte's general consul at the court of Ali Pasha of Ioannina. Through his diplomacy and writings, he became a prominent architect of the Philhellenism movement throughout Europe and contributed to the liberation of the Greeks and the rebirth of the Greek nation.
