DUVAL, CLAUDE (1643-167o), a famous highwayman, was born at Domfront, Normandy, in 1643. Having entered do mestic service in Paris, he came to England at the time of the Restoration in attendance on the duke of Richmond, and soon became a highwayman notorious for the daring of his robberies and his gallantry to ladies. In the end he was captured in London, and hanged at Tyburn on Jan. 21, 167o. His body was buried in the centre aisle of Covent Garden church, under a stone with the following epitaph : "Here lies Du Vall: Reader if male thou art, Look to thy purse: if female to thy heart." A full account of his adventures, ascribed to William Pope, was reprinted in the Harleian Miscellany, and Samuel Butler pub lished a satirical ode To the Happy Memory of the Most Re nowned Du Val.
