Antoine de Pas, Marquis de Feuquières (1648 - 1711) was a French writer and soldier, who served in the wars of Louis XIV. His "Mémoires de M. le Marquis de Feuquiere, lieutenant general des armées du roi: contenans les maximes sur la guerre, & l'application des exemples aux maximes" ran to 42 editions between 1736 and 2014 and was translated into three languages. Completed just before his death in 1711, it was highly critical of Louis XIV and remained unpublished until 1736. Voltaire later used it as a source for his own work, "Siècle de Louis XIV".
The book begins with a long biographical presentation of the marquis written by the abbot Gabriel Pérau to whom we owe this edition.
Particularly comprehensive, it includes a good understanding of the importance that France had in the Thirty Years' War and the particularly fundamental role of the Marquis de Feuquières in the formation of the alliance against the House of Austria. - Permalink:
