About Joseph Fouché
Joseph Fouché, 1st Duke d'Otrante, 1st Count Fouché was a French statesman, revolutionary, and Minister of Police under First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte.

But he also was a highly competent minister of police under the Directory, the Consulate, and the Empire. In 1815, he served as President of the Executive Commission, which was the provisional government of France installed after the abdication of Napoleon. In English texts, his title is often translated as Duke of Otranto.
