The Battle of Thouars (5 May 1793) was a battle between Royalist and Republican French forces during the War in the Vendée.[1] The Royalists or Vendeans led by Louis Marie de Lescure, Charles de Bonchamps, and Henri de La Rochejaquelein seized the town of Thouars and compelled its Republican defenders under Pierre Quétineau to surrender.
