Comment: This was mostly translated from fr.wikipedia. BTW he is a completely fascinating personality; so much material for potential DYK hooks in the article.

This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I have added an attribution tag on the talk page. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
