TRIBUTE TO DE LA ROCHEJAQUELEIN DEPUTE DU MORBIHAN 1850
Henri-Auguste-Georges du Vergier de La Rochejaquelein (Château de Citran, Gironde, September 28, 1805 - January 7, 1867) was a French politician. His father Louis du Vergier de La Rochejaquelein and his uncle Henri are among the most famous of the royalist generals who fought during the Vendée war.
He entered the Military School of Saint-Cyr in 1823, and became an officer of the horse grenadiers of the Guard. He took part in the Spanish expedition of 1823 and the Russo-Turkish war of 1828-1829. He was an officer of the Legion of Honor, 4th class knight of the Order of Saint Anne, 4th class knight of the Order of Saint Vladimir.
A member of the Chamber of Peers from 1825, he resigned after the July 1830 revolution and the accession to the throne of Louis-Philippe, who belonged to the younger branch of the house of Bourbon. He was elected deputy for Morbihan in 1842, and sat on the right, among the legitimists.
In 1848, the Gazette de France supported his candidacy for the presidential election, but he obtained only an insignificant number of votes. Made a senator by Napoleon III in 1852, to the great astonishment of the other legitimists, he ardently defended Catholicism; his appointment to the Senate can perhaps be explained by his positions in foreign policy, where he is less intransigent on the Roman question: he still supports imperial policy in this area.
