He was educated with his brothers, Charles and Henry, in the Grisons, in Chur where his tutor was Johann Heinrich Lambert, and then at Eton. He left Eton early in 1754 and was commissioned as an ensign in the 1st Regiment of Foot on 17 October 1754, which cost £900, subsequently he fought in the Seven Years' War (as seen in Kubrick's film Barry Lyndon), becoming a lieutenant on 27 October 1760. He left the army a captain and was sent by his father to the Grisons where he married a second cousin in 1763, she died, ''morte avec une fille en couches'' a year later. In 1765 he married a first cousin, she died 18 months later. In 1769 he married a combined third and fourth cousin, she bore him two sons and outlived him 22 years. ==Character== His brother Charles in a letter to their mother, dated London, 16 April 1766, described something of Peter's mind: :: ''Peter writes to me his usual style, a perfect miniature of the lamentations of Jeremiah'', ::The letter ''Par Lindau & par Coire, au païs des Grisons à Chiavenne'’, was '‘Recu in Leiden ce 22 ayr: 1766 a six heures et demi du matin’', and was ''‘Received le 9e. May 1766’' in Chiavenna. 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「Peter, 3rd Count de Salis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
