Roderigue Hortalez and Company was a corporation created[1] by Luis de Unzaga as coordinator of interests of Spain and France in May[2] of 1775[3] in order to provide arms and financial assistance to American Revolutionaries in anticipation of the American Revolutionary War against Britain.[4] The ruse was organized by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a French playwright, watch-maker, inventor, musician, politician, fugitive, spy, publisher, arms-dealer, and revolutionary.[5] Weapons and materials were procured to help the Americans fight the British, enemies of France at the time, through the corporation.
