Eugène Charles Miroy [SEP] conflict
Eugène Charles Miroy
Eugène Charles Miroy (November 12, 1828 – February 12, 1871), also known as Abbé Miroy, was a French Catholic priest who was executed by the Prussian military during the armistice following the Franco-Prussian War.
Miroy was the Curate of Cuchery. Following the signature of the armistice agreement, Prussian forces accused Miroy of having sheltered Francs-tireurs in his rectory, and of having hidden armaments in the altar of his church.
Miroy is buried in the Cimitière du Nord in Reims
mid-July. Here Charles signed an armistice with Napoleon and agreed to end the fighting. Military conflict between France and Austria was effectively ended, although a few more months of diplomatic wrangling were required to make the result official.
