Born in Paris , the eldest son of Victor-François, 2nd Duc De Broglie , the prince de Broglie attained the rank of '' Maréchal De Camp '' in the army. He adopted revolutionary opinions, served with La Fayette and Rochambeau in the American Revolution , was a member of the Jacobin Club , and sat in the Constituent Assembly , constantly voting on the Liberal side. He served as chief of the staff to the Republican army on the Rhine , but during the Terror he was denounced, arrested, and Guillotine d at Paris on June 27 , 1794 . Since the old duc de Broglie survived him, the prince de Broglie's eldest son, Victor , eventually became the third Duc De Broglie . The prince's dying admonition to his little son was to remain faithful to the principles of the French Revolution , however unjust and ungrateful it seemed then to be. REFERENCES |
