French Prison

French Prison
Dumbarton Castle

Without a doubt, the most renowned French prisoner held here (although, he may have been allowed a room in the Governor's House, due to his rank) was General Edouard Français Simon, who was taken captive at the Battle of Busaco during the Peninsular War. (A.I.-Generated Article).
