[Footnote 505: Marie Victor Nicolas de Fay, Marquis de Latour-Maubourg
(1768-1850), was an officer in the Body-guard under Louis XVI. He
emigrated in 1792, returned to France after the 18 Brumaire, served
under Bonaparte in Egypt, Germany, Spain and Russia, and lost a leg
and thigh at Leipzig (16 October 1813). He was created a baron of
the Empire in 1808 and a count of the Empire in 1814. In the same
year, the Restoration created him a peer of France. He received a
marquisate in 1817 and was sent to London as Ambassador. In 1819, he
was appointed Minister for War and, in 1821, Governor of the Invalides.
Latour-Maubourg resigned his offices and his peerage after the
Revolution of 1830 and joined the Bourbons in exile. He was appointed
Governor to the Duc de Bordeaux (Henry V.) in 1835.--T.]
