Marie-François-Henri de Franquetot de Coigny, born March 28, 1737 and died May 19, 1821, officer of the Ancien Régime and emigrated during the Revolution, had a long career as a general before being elevated to the dignity of Marshal of France by Louis XVIII in 1816. Returning to France after the Empire, joining the Restoration, he commanded and administered with prudence; Governor of the Invalides in his last years, he embodies the continuity of the military nobility between the monarchies of the Ancien Régime and the restored monarchy, more a man of institutions than a Napoleonic war leader.
