In 1745, he conquered Belgium with his victories at Fontenoy, and was George Sand's great-grandfather.Letter signed, dated Paris, 22.01.1747 to Comte de Saint Germain: "Étre plus sensible que je le suis au compliment que vous avez eu la bontŽ de me faire sur la nouvelle gr‰ce que le Roy m'a accordŽÉ". 1 p.
