Louis Dominique Bourguignon
Louis Dominique Garthausen, also known as Cartouche (1693, Paris – November 28, 1721, Paris), who usually went by the name of Louis Bourguignon or Louis Lamarre when he wanted to hide his identity, was a highwayman reported to steal from the rich and give to the poor in the environs of Paris during the Régence until the authorities had him broken on the wheel.[1]
Cartouche gained a public following, with plays being written of him. The authorities was forced to shut down his plays after only thirteen performances.[2] His crimes and daring exploits were exploited in ballads and popular prints and have been revived in bodice-rippers and the swashbuckling romance with slapstick comedy of the film Cartouche (1962) by Philippe de Broca, starring Jean Paul Belmondo and Claudia Cardinale.
