Anne-Adrien-Pierre de Montmorency, ''duc de Laval'' (October 29, 1768 Paris - June 16, 1837 Paris), was 3rd Duc de Laval and a peer of France. He was an heir of the noble families of Montmorency and of Laval, styled ''Marquis de Laval'' then ''Prince de Montmorency-Laval'' before succeeding to his father's titles in 1817. He was additionally created a grandee of Spain and duque de San Fernando Luis. Adrien de Montmorency-Laval was a French army officer, before serving as French foreign minister and as an ambassador during the Bourbon Restoration. == Early years == His father was Lieutenant-General Anne-Alexandre de Montmorency, 2nd Duc de Laval, and his mother was Marie-Louise de Montmorency-Luxembourg (1750–1829).〔(''Dictionnaire de la Noblesse'', 1824 )〕 Born in 1768 while his formidable great-grandfather, Marshal Guy-André-Pierre de Montmorency, the 1st duke was alive, Adrien was sent to be raised under the tuition of his uncle Cardinal Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Laval, Prince-Bishop of Metz and Grand Almoner of France in preparation for taking holy orders. Shortly after starting at the seminary of the Saint-Sulpice in Paris, his elder brother Guy de Montmorency, ''marquis de Laval'', died unexpectedly in 1786; he had married Pauline-Renée-Sophie de Voyer de Paulmy d'Argenson in 1784. His brother's death, prompted him to leave church training and participate in court life at Versailles. Montmorency-Laval joined the French army, being commissioned in the Alsace Cavalry Regiment, commanded by Charles, vicomte de Noailles (''later'' duc de Mouchy) where he served alongside Marc-René de Voyer de Paulmy, marquis d'Argenson (1771-1842), his brother-in-law and lifelong friend. 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「Anne-Adrien-Pierre de Montmorency-Laval」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
