The correct name of the Allegeance's captain was Charles César de la Berquerie ( written "de la Berquer" by Pegasus'captain John Stanhope in his logbook where we can also see that he spelled the prize's name as Diligence instead of Allegeance!).

1782-1783 French sloop-of-war Allegeance, troop transporter, captain Charles de La Berchère ( see Pegasus logbook ADM 52.2442)
