Henri I suffers apoplexy in the church of Limonade
Haitian
It was in the upper room of his pavilion, which he had made his bedchamber, that Henri I expired. On 15 August 1820 he was struck with apoplexy in the church of Limonade; he leaned three times over his seat and straightened up abruptly. The last time, he struck his head hard against the wall and made himself a wound from which the blood gushed abundantly. From that day on the king felt ill. Justamont, a French physician whom he had saved from the massacres of 1804, but whom in a fit of fury he had had beaten to death with sticks before his eyes in 1810, was no longer there to care for him.
Rouzier tells this under the entry SANS SOUCI.
