Charles Blargnies (Bergen, 27 December 1793 - Elsene, September 3, 1866) was a member of the Belgian National Congress, Representative and Magistrate. Lifecycle
Blargnies was the son of the wig maker and hairdresser Alexandre Blargnies and Françoise Clump. He himself married Angélique de Francquen (1788-1878).
As eighteen, he became a teacher at Aat College (1811-1815). He then studied law, first in the École de Droit of the Université Impériale in Brussels and obtained in 1818 in the newly established University of Leuven his doctorate in law. From 1818 to 1830 he was a lawyer at the counters of Bergen and then from Brussels, where he became a member of the disciplinary council. Blargnies became one of the protesters against the general use of Dutch for the courts. In June 1829 he belonged to the group of 92 Brussels lawyers who sent a petition to the king. He also addressed Willem I personally. At the beginning of 1830 he was the lawyer of Jean-François Tielemans who, together with Louis de Potter, was sentenced to a fierce political process.
At the time of the revolution, he became a member of the Commission for Justice (embassy of the Ministry of Justice, led by Alexandre Gendebien and Eugene Defacqz) and the "Constitution Committee", both established by the Provisional Government.
By the district of Bergen, he was elected as a member of the National Congress, where he was counted among the liberal representatives. At first he belonged to those who wanted to offer the crown to King Louis Philip I of France. When this did not work, he was in favor of the Duke of Nemours. In a subsequent phase, he opposed the choice for Leopold of Saxony-Coburg, as this meant that one had to accept the Treaty of XVIII's articles of power. He therefore voted, with a dozen others, for Surlet the Chokier as king and the month against the XVIII articles.
In August 1831, he was elected to the Liberal People's Representative and immediately resigned in opposition to accusing the government of the disastrous Tiendaagse Veldtocht. He was part of the parliamentary commission who examined this issue, but disappeared in parliament in March 1832 for health reasons.
In April 1836, the district of Bergen sent him back to parliament, but in November he resigned after appointing a councilor at the Brussels Court of Appeal. He distinguished himself as a good mining expert. In 1857, he went on emergency leave on the basis of shaky health. Literature Also see
