Biography

The son of a French fencing master who settled in London and started Britain’s most famous fencing dynasty, René Paul won five national titles at foil between 1947 and 1962 and was a member of the British foil team that took the bronze medal at the 1955 World Championships.In addition to his Olympic appearances he also competed in four Commonwealth Games winning seven gold medals, two silvers and a bronze between 1950 and 1962 to become the most successful fencer in the history of those Games.

His sons [Graham] and [Barry] followed in their father’s footsteps by becoming both national champions and Olympic representatives. René and his brother [Raymond] went on to run the family fencing equipment business.
