Biography

Légitime was born in Jérémie, Haiti, on 20 November 1841[1] to Denys Légitime and Tinette Lespérance.[2] Lespérance was a descendant of Modeste Testas, a formerly enslaved Ethiopian woman.[3] Légitime married Rose-Marie Isaure Marion and had nine children: Cuvier, Edmond, Angèle, Antoinette, Denis Jr., Léon, Clemence, Marie, and Agnès.[2]

He served as adjutant general during the government of Fabre Geffrard, and as aide-de-camp during the government of Sylvain Salnave.[2] He was Secretary of State of the Interior and then Secretary of State of the Interior and of Agriculture during the government of Lysius Salomon.[2] During this administration, Légitime was accused of aspiring to the presidency, and moved to Kingston, Jamaica, for three years.[4]

He returned to Haiti at the invitation of his followers, and on October 7, 1888, was elected president of the provisional government.[4] General Seide Thelemaque denounced the election as fraudulent and attempted to make himself President, but he was killed in the battle which ensued.[4] Légitime was elected President of Haiti on December 16, 1888, but resigned in 1889, owing to the opposition of General Florvil Hyppolite, and again retired to Jamaica.[4] In 1896 President Tiresias Simon Sam granted a general amnesty, and Légitime returned to Haiti.[4] He died on July 29, 1935 in Port-au-Prince.[5]

He wrote La nation ou la race haïtienne (1888).[6]
