Adkins. Trafalgar. 2005.
Summary
Adkins, Trafalgar (2005) is cited on Villeneuve Pierre-Charles — French Admiral at p. 323 for the Rennes death. That footnote treats the official suicide verdict as contested and names René Savary or Joseph Fouché as plausible candidates if murder did occur. No definitive evidence has been produced. This card is not Mark Adkin’s Trafalgar Companion (@adkin2005trafalgar). The White card’s @adkins2004trafalgar red-link is a different year and is not written here.
