RENAULD, C6sar Auguste (reh-no), West Indian poet, born near Fort Royal, Martinique, about 1701" died in that city in 1784. He was a negro slave, and at festivities and dances sang melodies of his own composition. An official of the colony heard him and reported to the governor, who sent for Cesar, and, ascertaining that, notwithstanding his total want of education, he composed creditable verses, enfranchised him and sent him to France in 1720, where he received considerable attention. in 1722 he recited verses before the regent, who gave him an annum pension of 200 livres, and ordered that he should be taught to read and write Toward 1725 Cesar, who had adopted the name of Renauld, returned to Martinique, and was admitted into the household of the governor, where he afterward lived. His poems were collected after his death and published under the title "Romances et melodies du poete negre Cesar Auguste dit Renauld" (Fort Royal, 1761).
