Orleans, while See also:Catherine Charlotte, afterwards princess of See also:Monaco, was the See also:object of the one See also:passion of Lauzun's See also:life. He entered the See also:army, and served under See also:Turenne, also his kinsman, and in 1655 succeeded his See also:father as See also:commander of the cent gentilshommes de la maison du roi. Puyguilhem (or Peguilin, as contemporaries simplified his name) rapidly See also:rose in See also:- LOUIS

Louis XIV.'s favour, became See also:colonel of the royal See also:regiment of dragoons, and was gazetted marechal de See also:camp. He and Mme de Monaco belonged to the coterie of the See also:young duchess of Orleans. His rough wit and skill in See also:practical jokes pleased Louis XIV., but his See also:jealousy and violence were the causes of his undoing. He prevented a See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting between Louis XIV. and Mme de Monaco, and it was jealousy in this See also:matter, rather than hostility to See also:Louise de la Valliere, which led him to promote Mme de See also:Montespan's intrigues with the See also:- KING

king. He asked this See also:lady to secure for him the See also:post of See also:grand-See also:master of the See also:artillery, and on Louis's refusal to give him the See also:appointment he turned his back on the king, See also:broke his See also:sword, and swore that never again would he serve a monarch who had broken his word. The result was a See also:short sojourn in the See also:Bastille, but he soon returned to his functions of See also:court buffoon. Meanwhile,
It was now intimated to Mademoiselle that Lauzun's restoration to See also:liberty depended on her immediate See also:settlement of the principality of See also:Dombes, the See also:county of Eu and the duchy of See also:Aumale—three properties assigned by her to Lauzun—on the little duc de See also:Maine, eldest son of Louis XIV. and Mme de See also:Monte-span. She gave way, but Lauzun, even after ten years of imprisonment, refused to sign the documents, when he was brought to See also:Bourbon for the purpose. A short See also:term of imprisonment at Chalon-sur-See also:Saone made him See also:change his mind, but when he was set See also:free Louis XIV. was still set against the See also:marriage, which is supposed to have taken See also:place secretly (see See also:MONTPENSIER). Married or not, Lauzun was openly courting See also:Fouquet's daughter, whom he had seen at Pignerol. He was to be restored to his place at court, and to marry Mlle Fouquet, who, however, became Mme d'See also:Uzes in 1683. In 1685 Lauzun went to England to seek his See also:fortune under See also:- JAMES

James II., whom he had served as See also:duke of See also:York in See also:Flanders. He rapidly gained See also:great See also:influence at the See also:English court. In 1688 he was again in England, and arranged the See also:flight of See also:Mary of See also:Modena and the See also:infant See also:prince, whom he accompanied to See also:Calais, where he received strict instructions from Louis to bring them " on any pretext " to See also:Vincennes. In the See also:late autumn of 1689 he was put in command of the expedition fitted out at See also:Brest for service in See also:Ireland, and he sailed in the following See also:year. Lauzun was honest, a quality not too See also:common in James II.'s officials in Ireland, but had no experience of the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

After the See also:battle of the See also:Boyne they fled to See also:Limerick, and thence to the See also:west, leaving See also:Patrick See also:Sarsfield to show a brave front. In See also:September they sailed for See also:France, and on their arrival at See also:Versailles Lauzun found that his failure had destroyed any prospect of a return of Louis XIV.'s favour. Mademoiselle died in 1693, and two years later Lauzun married See also:Genevieve de See also:Durfort, a See also:child of fourteen, daughter of the marechal de Lorges. Mary of Modena, through whose See also:interest Lauzun secured his dukedom, retained her faith in him, and it was he who in 1715, more than a See also:quarter of a See also:century after the flight from See also:Whitehall, brought her the See also:news of the disaster of See also:Sheriffmuir. Lauzun died on the 19th of See also:November 1723. The duchy See also:fell to his See also:nephew, Armand de See also:Gontaut, comte de See also:Biron.
