His reign was corrupt, sanguinary, and terror-ridden; his court was a caricature of Napoleon's. Although he failed in his attempt to conquer Santo Domingo, he held Haiti under stern control until overthrown by a revolution led by Nicholas Fabre Geffrard Geffrard, Nicholas Fabre (nēkôlä` fä`brə zhĕfrär`), 1806–79, president of Haiti (1859–67).
