Nota:
Philibert de Gramont (1621-1707) briefly stood on Condé's side in the Fronde, but changed sides
he was exiled in 1662 for courting a mistress of the king
he moved to London, where he found favor with Charles II: he returned to France in 1664, not before going back to England to marry Anthony Hamilton's (1646?-1720) sister as he had promised (an incident that is said to have inspired Molière's 'Le mariage forcé')
Antoine Hamilton was a soldier and a writer. As a writer he chose French as his language and adopted a light and elegant style, seeking to amuse and entertain his reader. These memoires about his brother in law are a combination of biography and fiction.
