Everything about Louis 4th Duc De Noailles totally explained
Louis, 4th duc de Noailles (
21 April 1713 –
22 August
1793) was a French general.
Born in
Versailles, he bore the title of duc d'Ayen until his
father's death in
1766, when he became
duc de Noailles. He married Cathérine Françoise Charlotte de Cossé-Brissac, with whom he'd two sons and two daughters. He served in most of the wars of the
eighteenth century without particular distinction, but was nevertheless made a
marshal of France in
1775. He refused to emigrate during the
Revolution, but escaped the
guillotine by dying in August
1793, before the
Terror reached its height. His wife died by guillotine on July 22, 1794 along with their daughter-in-law the new Duchess and one of their granddaughters. Another granddaughter, Adrienne, the wife of the French nobleman and Revolutionary War hero
Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de LaFayette, was scheduled to die at the same time but was reprieved at the last moment.
Louis de Noailles was succeeded by his eldest son,
Jean-Paul-François. The titles remain among the 4th duke's descendants in the 21st century.
