Louis, 4th duc de Noailles
- Louis, 4th duc de Noailles
Louis, 4th duc de Noailles (21 April 1713 at Versailles – 22 August
1793 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France) was a French noble.
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.
His wife, a granddaughter, and daughter-in-law were guillotined on 22 July 1794. Another granddaughter, Adrienne, wife of the Marquis de LaFayette, was saved due to the efforts of James Monroe, then-America's Minister to France. [ [http://www.executedtoday.com/2008/07/22/1794-noailles-women-marquise-de-lafayette/ ExecutedToday.com] Accessed 10 October 2008] Adrienne died in 1807; she and the Marquis are buried with her family and the other nobles who fell to the guillotine at Picpus Cemetery.
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.
