How interesting, wouldn't have guessed!

As long as we don't have a book by or about him, yes, I'm afraid it's a bit too obscure a reference.

May be something from the prolific Alexandre Dumas?

There are works in French but also in English and Spanish

One with a potential relevant title but may be not contents is the Black Tulip.

Or someone (else) from this collection of biographies Unsung Heroes
