From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 had 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.
