Detailed explanation-1: -émigré, any of the Frenchmen, at first mostly aristocrats, who fled France in the years following the French Revolution of 1789.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most émigrés sought safety from the violence of the revolution – but some dreamed of organising an army to sweep into France, crush the revolution, liberate the king and restore the old order. Little came of their efforts and most counter-revolutionary émigrés were instead absorbed into foreign armies.
