Started in 1810, briefly renamed Brabançon during the Hundred Days and launched in 1818, after the Bourbon Restoration, she remained without commission until 1839.

She was part of a squadron under Admiral Hugon, along with Montebello and Andromaque.

She was struck in 1858 and used as a prison ship in Toulon harbour between 1865 and 1868 when she was broken up.[1]
