Malet Coup Of 1812
The Malet coup of 1812 was an attempted coup d'état in Paris, France, aimed at removing Napoleon I, then campaigning in Russia, from power.

The coup failed, and the leading conspirators were executed. The Malet conspiracy Claude François de Malet was born in 1754. He distinguished himself in the French Revolutionary Wars and slowly became disenchanted with Napoleon Bonaparte. Malet opposed the Corsican general's rise to the position of First Consul.

After his resignation, Malet was made governor of Pavia, then of Rome, both of which were under French control.
