(History

Bonnivard (François
de), the prisoner of Chillon, in Byron's poem. He was
one of the six brothers, five of whom died violent deaths. The
father and two sons died on the battle-field; one was burnt at the
stake; three were imprisoned in the dungeon of Chillon, near the lake of
Geneva. Two of the three died, and François was set at liberty by
Henri the Bearnais. They were incarcerated by the duke-bishop of
Savoy for republication principles (1496-1570). (The Reader's
Handbook of Famous Names in Fiction, &c., Brewer, 1899)
