About Jean-Baptiste-René Hertel de Rouville
- Jean-Baptiste-René Hertel de Rouville (June 20, 1789 – January 3, 1859) was a seigneur and political figure in Lower Canada. He was born in Montreal, the son of Jean-Baptiste-Melchior Hertel de Rouville.
- He became a lieutenant in the militia around 1807 and served as a captain in the Canadian Voltigeurs during the War of 1812.
- Hertel de Rouville fought at the Battle of Châteauguay.
- He became commander of Chambly battalion in 1816.
- In 1817, he inherited the seigneury of Rouville and part of Chambly after his father's death.
- He was elected to represent Bedford in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada in 1824 and reelected in 1827.
- Hertel de Rouville signed a petition denouncing abuses by the government of Lord Dalhousie; this led to him being stripped of his rank in the militia in 1828.
- He was elected in the new riding of Rouville in 1830 and served until 1832, when he resigned due to ill health.
- He was named to the Legislative Council in August 1837 and served until the suspension of the constitution in March 1838 after the Lower Canada Rebellion.
- The parish priest of the region, Louis Nau, accused Hertel de Rouville of having supported rebel activity in the region.
- This led to him being treated with distrust by the authorities. Hertel de Rouville became ill later in life and, after experiencing financial difficulties, sold off some of his properties.
- After the death of his wife in 1855, he is believed to have lived with a daughter at Beloeil.
