The major landing on the Quiberon peninsula by émigré counter-revolutionary troops, begun on 23 June, was finally definitively repulsed on 21 July 1795. The expedition had aimed to raise the whole of western France in revolt, bring an end to the French Revolution, and restore the French monarchy. After the defeat, 952 Royal army prisoners who died between 1 and 25 August 1795 were interred in a vault at the Chartreuse at Auray.
