Marie-Victor-Nicolas de Faÿ, ''marquis de La Tour-Maubourg'' (22 May 1768 at Château de La Motte-de-Galaure, near Grenoble – 11 November 1850 at Dammarie-lès-Lys, Île-de-France) was a French cavalry military commander under France's Ancien Régime before rising to prominence during the First French Empire. Under the Restoration, he served as a diplomat and parliamentarian; after being created a Marquis, he was also briefly in government as Minister of War between 1819 and 1821.〔(www.rulers.org )〕 ==Early years and family== Of aristocratic descent, his father was Claude-Florimond de Faÿ, comte de Coisse (1712–1790)〔(''Comtes de Coisse'': www.chateaudecoisse.com )〕 and his mother was Marie-Françoise (1712-1793), daughter of Nicolas de Vachon, marquis de Belmont. De Faÿ joined the French Army as a ''Sous-lieutenant'' in the Gardes du Corps. He was promoted Colonel of the 3rd Chasseurs-à-Cheval Regiment, 5 February 1792, before serving at Philippeville, Grisvelle and Maubeuge. In August 1792, he was captured by the Austrians at Rochefort being taken prisoner with Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette. However, his release was quickly negotiated while his brother was eventually released only after the Treaty of Campo-Formio in 1797. De Faÿ then became an ''émigré'' living in Hamburg and Brussels. In 1804 at Utrecht, Colonel de Faÿ married Pétronille van Rijssel (''later styled'' marquise de La Tour-Maubourg), who predeceased him on 17 July 1844.〔(''Dynasty de Faÿ'', WebGeneologie )〕 His elder brother, Charles-César de Faÿ de La Tour-Maubourg was also a French Army general, and his younger brother, Juste-Charles de Faÿ de La Tour-Maubourg was married to Anastasie de La Fayette (1777–1863). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Victor de Fay de La Tour-Maubourg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
