Toussaint Louverture was reputedly descended from the Arrada people of the Dahomey Coast. His father, Gaou-Guinou, son of a petty African chieftain, had been captured in war and brought by slave traders to the French colony of Saint-Domingue, and sold as a slave to the Count de Bréda. Toussaint was the eldest son and his date of birth is given as either May 20 or November 1 (All Saints' Day, procuring the name Toussaint). The surname Breda was taken from his owner.
