About
Remembered as a leader of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Haitian Revolution, this ex-slave served from 1807 until 1811 as President of the State of Haiti and subsequently became King of Haiti (Henry I of Haiti). His reign lasted from 1811 until his death and the abolishment of the monarchy in 1820. 
Family
The child of a free father and an enslaved mother, he is thought to have been born in Grenada and raised in slavery in the French colony of Saint-Domingue. His marriage to Marie-Louise Coidavid (later the Queen of Haiti) resulted in children named Francois-Ferdinand, Francoise-Amethyste, Anne-Athenaire, and Jacques-Victor Henry.
