SA FAMILY

Philippe-Charles of Fare is the oldest son of Charles-Auguste of Fare, captain of the guards of Mister, and Louise-Jeanne de Lux of Ventelet (1667 - 1691). He is the brother of Etienne Joseph of Fare, bishop-duke of Laon and the cousin of His Eminence Mr. cardinal Anne Louis Henri of Fare and the cardinal François-Joachim of Pierre de Bernis.

During all his life, Philippe Charles of Fare will help his parents and his friends to obtain loads, advances, pensions… The mechanism of nomination utilizes the play of the parentèles and the customers: to obtain a load of chaplain for example of the king, nothing is worth a relative well placed at the Court, which always has the concern of saving lapse of memory a branch of its family buried in province. That is true for of Aydie, Moreton de Chabrillan, Sabran, Choiseul, Lascaris, Vintimille, Dufort, Galard-Terraube, Grimaldi, Talleyrand or Fare. The family profited from the supports of the house of Orleans. They are their servants with the Court since monarchy was done absolute and the death of Mazarin. They receive and attend at the Court, in their hotels, the cities which they control and in the living rooms all that France counts important characters on the level of the administration of the state, army, clergy, culture.

UNDER THE REIGN OF LOUIS XIV ( 1693 - 1715 )

Musketeer of the King (1701 - 1702)

Philippe Charles of Fare is named by Mister and Charlotte-Elisabeth of Bavaria (1652-1722), on March 26th 1693.

In 1701, the War of succession of Spain starts. It will oppose of 1701 to 1714, France of Louis XIV, allied in Bavaria and the electorate of Cologne, with the remainder of Europe: Great Britain, Holland, Austria, Prussia, Hanover, Portugal and Savoy.

The Regiment of the King (1703)

As second lieutenant with the Regiment of the King, it is with the catch of the Old man-Brisach by the Duke of Burgundy, on September 6th, 1703. As lieutenant, it is present at the battle of Spire gained by the marshal Camille d' Hostun and it takes part in the catch of Landau.

The Regiment of Gâtinais (1704)

Philippe Charles of Fare makes countryside to the army of the the Moselle like teaches colonelle company of the Régiment of the King. He is captain in the same regiment.

He passes to the beginning of the year 1704 in Italy, and has the Régiment of Gâtinais, in April 1704, in consequence of the resignation of the Viscount of Poudenx.

With the marshal Louis-Joseph de Vendôme

The friend of its father, Louis-Joseph de Vendôme, is one of the last French war leaders worthy of this name wants to take by surprised the fortified town of Verceil. But the detachment intended for this forwarding arrives too late and a sentinel informs the garrison which she sees of dust. The project fails.

Fare then follows the marshal Louis-Joseph de Vendôme which puts the seat around Ivrée. In spite of the courage of the defenders, for lack of help, the city must go. The duke and Fare, after this seat of Ivrée, do that of Wart.

The duke of Savoy after his defeats is in an annoying situation. Fare is present also at the seat of Mirandola. It has a brilliant share, in almost all the businesses which are engaged by the army of Italy.

Vis-a-vis Prinz Eugen (1705 - 1706)

At that time France knows nothing any more but defeats, at the same time on ground and sea. Fare orders the brigade of the marshal Louis-Joseph de Vendôme and succeeds in beating Prinz Eugen, with the Bataille of Cassano (1705), on August 16th 1705. The young colonel and his regiment take part in the catch of Soncino. April 19th, it is always at the sides of the friend of its father and they beat the armies of the count de Reventlau, with the Bataille of Calcinato. It is distinguished with the attack from Canario and that from the enemy lines in front of Turin, where it receives a wound with the thigh.

The son of the general François III of Aubusson, marshal-duke of Feuillade which had adapted the victory over the Turks in Hungary, battles in which brilliantly had taken part his/her father, directs the head office of Turin. It is as much conceited, sufficient and even more inefficient. It owes to its advance with his father-in-law the minister Michel Chamillart. Fare, covered with blood, suffering atrociously, see passing, in the middle of the casualties and of deaths, this Louis d' Aubusson, duke of Feuillade any pomade, the well adjusted wig, laughing at one of its rotten tricks, with two or three of his/her friends.

The seat lasts two months. Prinz Eugen starts by overcoming besieging them of Turin, on September 7th, 1706. Then, in a few months, it drives out our armies of Italy. All the victories of Vendôme, Fare and sound Regiment of Gâtinais, were used for nothing.

The army of Dauphine (1707 - 1711)

Philippe-Charles of Fare recovers from his wound. In 1707, it is employed with the army of Dauphine under the marshal Rene de Froulay de Tessé.

For the defeats in Italy, it is necessary to bar the road with the enemy forces. But, those invade the south-east of France, and undertake the seat of Toulon, become effective on July 26th, 1707. The population and the army of the marshal of Tessé, push back the attacks. After 25 days of bombardment and unfruitful attacks, Fare contributes by a bold knack to make raise the head office of Toulon to the duke of Savoy and Prinz Eugen, on August 22nd 1707. The Austro-Sardinians must beat a retreat behind the VAr. They lost in this business more than 8.000 soldiers.

In the same army, under the marshal Claude Louis Hector de Villars, it obtains in 1708, against the duke of Savoy, a new success by the catch of the two towns of Cesane, in spite of an enemy higher of number. It still serves as 1709 to 1711 with the army of Dauphine, under the marshal Jacques Fitz-James de Berwick.

Captain of the guards of the Regent Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723)

Philippe-Charles is named captain of the guards of the duke Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723), on May 29th, 1712, to replace his father. The entourage of Orleans is organized according to apparently intangible principles. The House is made up of commensaux which enjoys important privileges for this reason. Since always, the uses had very strongly structured the fidelities. The relationships and the networks of friendship ensure the promotion as of Fare

Its marriage (1713)

Philippe-Charles of Fare benefits from his stay in Paris to marry by contract of April 6th, 1713, on August 6th, with Francoise Paparel, girl of Claude François Paparel, lord of Vitry-sur-Seine, treasurer of extraordinary of the wars, and Marie Sauvion. Paparel, family of the Lyonese carry: Of azure, with 3 gold turns; with the chief of the mesme charged with a busy lion of mouths. Dangeau written: the king signed the morning the marriage contract of the Marquis of Fare, captain of the guards of Mr. the Duke of Orleans with Miss Paparel has who it father gives 560.000 books in marriage. Tessé specifies however that the girl of Paparel is also ugly, says one, that his/her father is coriace and interested . The woman of Fare is very young. The Father Anselme and François-Alexandre of Chenaye-Aubert, the only genealogists who will speak about it, will give birth to it in 1706. She however did not marry at seven years! We know by the marriage contract of his/her daughter with the future general-count Louis Groult of the Rivers that the latter was born in 1716. His/her mother can however have only 13 or 14 years at the time of her design.

The REGENCY OF the DUKE Of ORLEANS (1715 - 1722)

Claude François Paparel in 1716 is condemned to death, but Philippe Charles of Fare obtains his grace of the regent Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723), his friend.

Sergeant of the armies of the king (1716)

It is used with the seat as Barcelona in 1714, under the orders of the marshal of Berwick. Philippe-Charles of Fare receives a patent of sergeant, on January 1st, 1716, rank that Louvois had wrongfully refused with his/her father because of their competitions in love. The Duc of Luynes explains why it obtains this rank because of a load which it did not pay. It receives the provisions of this new load and then dislocates Régiment of Gâtinais. This load quickly returns to its owner first sergeant of the body of the dragons.

November 15th, 1717, the marquis of Fare only takes the command of the Régiment of Normandy, vacant by the death of the count d' Angennes.

General lieutenancy with the government of Languedoc (1718)

The following year, the king gives him on September 8th, 1718 general lieutenancy with the government of Languedoc for the Vivarais and the Velay, on the resignation of the count de Roure. This role of governor is of short duration.

War in Spain (1719)

January 2nd, 1719, France declares the war with Philippe V of Spain. An army of 36.600 men ordered by the marshal Berwick makes the seat of Fontarabie. June 17th, 1719, a ball having decapitated their governor, the fortified town goes. Fare is delighted by this victory which enables them to attack Saint-Sebastien which falls on August 19th. Philippe Charles of Fare and the French troops go along the Pyrenees and find himself in Catalonia. They take part in the catch of Urgel, in spite of the rains of autumn and the lack of supply. The French Armies besiege Roses, but must be folded up on Roussillon, because of a storm which destroys a maritime convoy coming to supply them. It is then finally peace!

Brigadier and governor of the castle of Ales (1720)

The king does it brigadier on April 10th, 1720, and governor of the castle of Alès and the the Cevennes on January 1st, 1721. Philippe-Charles of Fare thus remains in Languedoc, in 1721.

Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon, ambassador

It is at that time that Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon begs the regent to grant the favor to him to go to Madrid in the capacity as ambassador extraordinary. At the time, France and Spain exchange their princesses. The girl of Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723) will become queen of Spain, and the infante goes to France to marry with Louis XV.

Philippe Charles of Fare will find himself in Spain with this driven out man of the army, by François Michel Tellier de Louvois because of his incapacity to order a simple company and of his weak constitution. And yet the small duke misses neither the seniority of his nobility, nor fortune. Moreover in Spain, it will be ruined to throw gold by the windows of sound fits with body, to absorb its last ecus to receive the last square of importunate the .

A friend of Fare, Jacques Fitz-James de Berwick, military chief, very appreciated Spaniards, was however recommended by the cardinal Guillaume Dubois, but the regent prefers to send this specialist in génuflexions and imposed reverences, because he believes it better prepared to face the label of the Spanish Court. The regent, Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723), prevents it however that its mission is not to decide orientations of the policy of France in the direction of its whims. And all the advisers of the king repeat to him, before his departure, on October 23rd, 1721, that they wait of him only of the tender and obedience.

Philippe Charles of Fare will represent the regent

In same time, the duke of Orleans decides to send in Spain one of his first officers, to thank, the Spaniards of the immense honor of the marriage of his daughter with the king. He chooses the captain of his guards, Fare. Their mutual friend, Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle, congratulates it on the choice of this extraordinary envoy. He will inform of it Philippe Charles of Fare and Saint Simon.

In the Memories of this last, the facts are slightly different. The small duke thinks to be at the origin of the choice of the regent with regard to Philippe Charles of Fare. Whereas the regent just entrusted to him this station only by weakness and with very strict limits with his capacities, Saint-Simon holds of the scornful remarks: I it to him promised and I obtained it: it was its first step of fortune. It is a pleasant fort man, of good company, which me always knew liking of it since. Without wounding the honor and with a strong but extremely poor spirit, it knew to be well and very usefully with all first place and influential people already there, to be done many friends, and to make thus little by little a very great fortune which had to surprise, as it made, but which did not annoy anybody. Poor Saint-Simon! Fare is 34 years old and it is already Brigadier and especially captain of the guards of the regent. It is one of the most envied loads there Court and its military exploits are known of all. What is of nothing the case Saint-Simon who forever nothing made, if is not to be born from a very fortunate duke and a little too old.

A complete disagreement

As of the beginning their reports/ratios his difficult. Fare arrives at Madrid the shortly after the departure of the Court, and goes in the ambassador of France. The reception is not that of a diplomat sent by the regent. Saint-Simon speaks in Philippe Charles of Fare as to a badly high child whom it would be advisable to educate. He writes: As of this first maintenance it exposed me wild claims; it étoit to be received like is the envoys of the sovereigns; to be led to the audience in the same form, and to be received and treated like them. I tried to make him hear that those which fire Mister avoit sent to make to his compliments in the courses foreign, in London, even in Heidelberg, at the time of its marriages, in Madrid, at the time of the marriage of the queen, her daughter, and on other occasions in these same courses and others, never swage alleged these treatments, though coming on behalf of a son from France, and that pouvoit even less to claim to him coming on behalf of a grandson from France.

Saint Simon thus wants that the envoy of France speaks while representing about a minor prince to king d' Espagne. Philippe Charles of Fare answers him that this grandson of France east regent and not only prince de France. This quality changes all. Philippe is leading France, in the place of the king. Its capacity is absolute contrary to his/her father. Then the captain adds that: the happy economic situation étoit and that it falloit to benefit from it.

The project of Saint-Simon

But it does not know that the project of Saint-Simon is simple. He wants to make of his second wire a Grand of Spain, and he is ready with all lownesses and even with the treason of our interests for that. He uses all the arguments to divert the project of Saint-Simon of his mission

The role of the cardinal Dubois

The marriage of a princess of Orleans with the heir to the throne of Spain having like drank to reconcile the Bourbons with Orleans and to make it possible the latter to speak about equal footing with the Bourbons. Philippe Charles of Fare, friend and confidant of the Dolphin, also received certainly orders of the regent and Guillaume Dubois, even if Saint-Simon cannot by pride speak about it.

It is indeed astonishing that this ambassador is obliged to obey a captain of the bodyguards, out of the Court. The small duke makes pretense obey: But it did not go, and pressed me so that I entered in capitulation. I made to a letter for Grimaldo, by which, delivering to him opinion of the arrival of Fare, I him exposois suitability to receive it and to treat it with particular distinctions, but without anything to specify neither to directly ask distinctly nor, satisfying me to extend on the favor with the economic situation, on that of Fare near Mr. the duke of Orleans, which seroit flattered for oneself and him of kindness and the distinctions that Its Catholic Majesty voudroit to grant to him well. I showed my letter with Fare; I sent it to Grimaldo and a copy with the cardinal Dubois.

But actually its letter is not clear and thus: Fare was not content with a letter which exprimoit not its claims. It praises its treachery and adds: less still of the sending of its copy to the cardinal Dubois.

When it is known what thinks Dubois of Saint-Simon and the fate that it holds for him! Guillaume Dubois is not besides not to only appreciate it. Before the death of Louis XIV, whereas it was only forty years old, it has already to leave the Court, where it did not have only one any more support. But, his/her friend of childhood while becoming regent, had the quite chimerical dream to make new Richelieu or Mazarin of it.

The competition between the two men still grows

Moreover, in addition to the desire for seeing his second wire Knight of the Golden Fleece, Saint-Simon wants to harm the man who dares to submit himself as a rival to the Court of Spain. And besides this envoy of the principal world power of the time, because of attitude of the other ambassador is not treated by the Spaniards according to his row

Philippe Charles of Fare is made Chevalier of the Golden Fleece (1722)

But, the Philippe Charles of Fare, the man with the strong but extremely poor spirit , with of the wild claims and which accepted court of Spain none the distinctions which were of character … this Philippe Charles of Fare is made Chevalier of the Golden Fleece, on January 11th 1722.

In its Memories , Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon do not know any more what to write so much it is disappointed. Saint-Simon dares to compare it with Maulevrier-Langeron, marquis, former ambassador in Spain, culprit to have signed a treaty with clauses favorable to Spain. But which plays the part of Maulevrier in 1722?

The paid price by Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon

Fare does not appreciate to him either this honor granted to Saint-Simon. The title totals to him 840.000 books. But, it is also the reward of a treason. While not making respect the officer representing France, it had made the play of the Grands of Spain, always ready to humiliate the French. This man of small size is all the more proud to be become tall of Spain which its ancestors were the unknown ones.

And its attacks against Philippe Charles of Fare continue: It was ignored enough for me to make its complaints of them. Whatever was my astonishment, I did not believe to have to testify, but to him to treat it as a patient, with kindness; thus tachois there, like since in Madrid, to carry it to manners which disgusted neither the king nor his court, and which did not close the ways of to him only it désiroit, but that I savois although it étoit out of reach obtaining. It was useful as much as it could, and very badly by the way, of the name of the regent and the Dubois cardinal, at Grimaldo, and even with other lords, familiar at home, who afterwards, rioient and haussoient shoulders, and exhortoient me to try to make it return in itself . We can easily imagine the mocker attitude of the Grands of Spain towards a foreigner, especially excited by such a dedicated collaborator! Actually, instead of behaving by representing France, the small duke is thrown into a panic with the idea that Fare could replace it. Moreover, this Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon he writes it again: This ambition turned so much the head to him, which it started to venture of the remarks like if it étoit ambassador of Mr. the duke of Orleans, and to claim it. By pressing me on its grandess, it released me some features of this claim that I pus to pass to him as the remainder. The grandess étoit a personal dream, but to press it this claim of embassy portoit on Mr. the duke of Orleans.

Funny of rival

This animosity and this competition with this close relation of the regent are also added to the despair of a growing old man who nothing made forever important. Its single hope had been the plan which he in vain proposed to the regent with dead of Louis XIV. In this political project the capacity was to be entrusted to the princes who were still children at that time. The enemies of the duke found themselves in exile. vases or cup-and-balls were to replace them. The roof of ridiculous, it is the business of the bonnet .

At that time, Saint-Simon, small Boudrillon , after having threatened Fare, criticizes the regent: … and which donneroit place with, its enemies to profit from it as of now in the public, and the continuation near the king, by showing Mr. the duke of Orleans to already want to slice of the sovereign, in impatience to become it indeed, by misfortunes that one pouvoit to fear enough; what donneroit a new course with the horrors so much output and so often renewed.

Finally, this conceited person of Saint-Simon makes ambassador because of his supplications, become Grand of Spain by betraying the interests of his benefactor, is caught for the regent and the king of Spain and writing of the ridiculous remarks: I voulois not that he was ambassador nor large of Spain like I it étois. has new without reason, it puts it on the same Maulevrier plan as it forever considering and Philippe Charles of Fare. It finds even a common point to them: their nonducal origins: I still knew the lighter birth of Andrault for good than that of Fare. And this conceited person, whose nobility of its family is however quite recent, again repeat in his Mémoires the same words, while being paraphrased unceasingly.

Guillaume Dubois and Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle

Saint-Simon dares to write: It was convinced that my interest me empechoit to serve it and to make it succeed, in manner that it was sulky me a long time, and saw me rather little. Saint-Simon, disappointed of this lack of interest, excites Grimaldo, the future traitor, as it had excited certain dukes against the members of Parliament. He sends a letter to denounce the intrigues of Fare to the Cardinal Dubois and Beautiful-Isle. Those, which are the friends of Fare, want that the regent and France play a leading role in Europe. They advise certainly with Fare not to answer the provocations small Boudrillon .

What it does: It was however only all at the end of my stay in Spain which Fare took again little by little its true mistakes with me, and since our return in France we were friendly. It knew well since pushing its fortune, and by many kinds of ways, however however without interesting its honor. It cannot however avoid insulting Philippe Charles of Fare: It is astonishing how much the ambition opens the poorest spirit, and how much he is people with whom all succeeds, of which one douteroit never.

Fare will finish indeed Marshal of France and its brother, bishop-duke, par of France. The two wire of Saint-Simon will be the two sick poor, to which them father will pay a regiment. Saint-Simon not succeeds in however making reconsider the Spaniards their decision to allot to him the order of the Golden Fleece, but the captain of the guards receives it only a few months after, of the hands of Mr. the duke of Orleans, by commission of king d' Espagne, on January 11th, 1722. In 1722, the marquis receives also a patent for the First Entry of the Room of the king .

The business Claude the White (1722)

The two men however are brought to meet unceasingly in the alleys of the capacity. While arriving at Paris, Philippe-Charles of Fare, accompanied by his friend Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle, will see Saint-Simon in his castle of Ferté-Vidame. After the murder of a collaborator, Gerard of Jonchère, Treasurer of extraordinary of the wars, the public rumor shows their friend Claude the White (4) to have diverted funds. Moreover, Jeanne Agnès Berthelot de Pléneuf notes in September 1722 an abnormal deficit. Saint-Simon realizes that the situation is serious and as he is not any more the rival of Philippe Charles of Fare, he does not show it wrongly any more: Fare was not there for nothing… Fare étoit also strong friend of Mrs. Jeanne Agnes Berthelot de Pléneuf, but not its slave like his two friends the White and Beautiful-Isle. Fare acts only by friendship for these two advisers. Gerard of Jonchère is led to the Bastille, and one speaks to remove with Claude the White his load of Secretary of State, and to wrap it with Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle in this business. Saint-Simon explains the lower parts of the business to them and in particular the role of the marchioness of Requests

Saint-Simon thus advises with Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle and in Philippe Charles of Fare more not to see the mother of the marchioness of Requests, and to be wary of the cardinal Guillaume Dubois who seek to reinforce his authority on the army, but also of the duke of Bourbon, and even of the regent.

Philippe Charles of Fare and Saint-Simon, knowing so well the mechanisms of the Court, fall from agreement on the diagnosis of the situation and the remedies to be brought to him. Saint-Simon will remember that: Fare trouvoit that I disois well, and that what I proposois étoit the only way of hello, so already the too advanced business étoit. Beautiful-Isle, too friendly of Claude the White, and too entichée Madam de Pléneuf, does not want to slice with its past.

Saint-Simon the warn: has the end, I predict the prompt loss of the White to him and his, that the cardinal, Mr. the Duke and his mistress entreprenoient in concert, and of which they are not laisseroient to give denial, if, while following my opinion, they désarmoient Mr. promptly the Duke and his mistress by the sacrifice only I proposois; what. fact, they auroient still well of the sorrow to draw from the claws alone of the cardinal; but that, when they do not auroient any more business but with him, still there auroit it hope. But nothing could shake Belle-Ile.

Saint-Simon advises to him the escape out of the kingdom while waiting for that the situation improves. Fare is also of this opinion, but Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle exclaims that to flee seroit to acknowledge itself guilty, and that it préféroit all to risk, being of course that it there avoit on him no catch. It is turned over from there with Fare persuaded to be right. As well others before him, of the time of the absolute monarchy, Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle will find itself with the Bastille, like the other friend of Philippe Charles of Fare, Claude the White.

Festivals of the coiled

Fare knows that old courtier rightly, because it receives the confidences of the regent. They are inseparable.

The friendship goes even further. In the apartments of the Regent, with the Palais Royal, almost every evening, the servants close the doors. The captain of the guards orders to them to let pass only some people, always the same ones. Moreover the doors are closed with key to be on not being disturbed.

The coiled , companions of vice of the regent, Philippe of Orleans (1674-1723) spend all the night to drinking, eating to fornicate, to sing bawdy songs. The coiled affirm that them this nickname was given, because they are ready to be made coil for the Regent. Their adversaries would like them to make them coil blows. The majority are the companions of vice of the father of Philippe Charles of Fare, or their children. They are most of the time, the count of Nocé, known as Bracquemardus de Nocendo , Noailles, Louis of Brancas, known as the merry petrel , the marquis of Fare, known as Large Poupard , its mistress, the old Madam de Pléneuf. And then, even older, the large prior of France, Mister de Vendôme, descendant of Henri IV.

The Regent adores them, but it has an admiration pushed until the veneration for this last. Philippe sees in this eminent ecclesiastic an example to be followed, because all its life it lay down only drunk and that it did not cease maintaining the mistresses publicly and to hold of the continual matter of impiété and irreligion.

The Abbé Dubois observes his former student and his fêtards with which sometimes Claude the White and Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet interfere Beautiful-Isle. When a guest falls drunk-death, the Regent shouts with the future cardinal: Let us go, chaplain of the devil, recites the prayers for the dead for that one.

One night, the regent, completely drunk, request with Philippe Charles of Fare of to make him a pleasure and says to him: I want that you me cuts the right hand , under the pretext which it felt bad. Fortunately the regent falls asleep. Philippe Charles with the bad idea to speak about it with some close relations about the regent and this one is annoyed by learning it.

François de Neufville de Villeroy

During this time, the education of the young king is entrusted to a close relation of Louis XIV, an old conceited marshal, François de Neufville de Villeroy which puts in the head the idea that the regent will poison the child and prohibits to him to see it in particular.

July 20th, meeting the Cardinal Dubois, it attacks it in these terms: You want all to control, but I will not suffer it!

Strange family that these Villeroy: its grand-daughter, the duchess of Retz wants prostituer her sister-in-law and to play the procurers. Its grandsons devote to frolicking in love in the gardens with other followers with the vice Italian in front of the walkers.

François de Neufville de Villeroy does not remain there and insults Dubois again and goes from it until threatening it physically. The cardinal Henri-Pons de Thiard de Bissy owes the empoigner and to throw it outside. But the old man then puts himself to affirm with who wants to hear it that the regent wants to poison the king. Philippe Charles of Fare, the Cardinal Dubois, the duke of Saint-Simon, Artagnan and Fare must assemble a plan to get rid of this insane dangerous.

In the morning of August 10th, 1722, the regent comes to study the files of the people to be rewarded. He wants to discuss in particular with the king. The marshal refuses the right to them to discuss together files containing of the secrecies state. The regent essuyant a new affront makes pretense then be annoyed. François de Neufville de Villeroy is presented the afternoon in the apartments of the regent to try to be justified and meet of force the regent. Fare, captain of the guards, some light horsemen, forty musketeers, of the bodyguards and the friends of the regent are opposed to it.

Fare is presented opposite him, and prevents it from approaching his/her friend. The young king to which the regent has just made gift of a trunk of toys does not see the regent exchanging an accessory smile with Philippe Charles. The plan functions. The duke of Orleans throws a glance with François de Neufville de Villeroy, which expresses its to him supreme contempt, and says to him: - Mister of Villeroy, you mistake curiously, this seems to me, and you believe speech in some other. But since you forget who I am, it is with me to make some to you remember. Marquis of Fare, continues the regent by addressing to his captain guards, made your duty. Alexandre Dumas will tell how the regent and Fare got rid of this harmful being. The scene is indeed memorable and theatrical.

François de Neufville de Villeroy is renewed with its castle by Artagnan and Mr. de Libois, before finding itself in the area of Lyon to be neat Petite pox.

One of the adventures of Fare

Alexandre Dumas will speak about the adventures of Fare in its Chevalier of Harmental .

The duke Charles Philippe d' Albert de Luynes will report us in his Memories a surprising event which arrived at that time at his/her friend Philippe Charles of Fare. He places then carries to door of the marshal of Beautiful-Isle and their residences communicate. A man whom he did not know comes to speak one morning to him and says to him that he came to ask for to him to his protection near Mr. the duke of Orleans for him. … Its company swage 40 million out of gold to be carried to the bank; that they demandoient that one gave them tickets for this sum and that they feroient it to carry during the ten days space, and that to mark the reconnoissance to him that they auroient of such a large service for them, they offroieut to give him a million out of gold. Fare is amazed by this proposal. It at once sends to request Beautiful-Isle to pass at his place, and asks the man to await it. Fare requires of him to repeat its demand and its. Mr. of Beautiful-Isle listening with attention. He advises with Fare to speak in Mr. the duke about it about Orleans.

The following day, Philippe Charles of Fare speaks to him about this meeting and the remarks of the man. The duke of Orleans says that it is necessary some to speak about it with Law. The following day John Law comes in the regent. Fare is present and the duke makes it enter at the end conversation. But they do not accept this offer. Luynes will conclude: this refusal paroit as astonishing as the offer which avoit made .

UNDER THE REIGN OF LOUIS XV

Command as a chief of the Languedoc (1724)

Philippe Charles of Fare does not spend all his time to the Court. He is commander-in-chief in Languedoc, by commission of February 22nd, 1724.

By a letter missive, written on March 2nd, 1726, in Narbonne, the marquis of Fare, ordering in Languedoc, returns account to the Court of enrôlement that the marquis made of a soldier of the guet. Since this militia is in charge of the guard of the city, enrôlement is not good and it is necessary to put the soldier in freedom; but before, it must return the money which it took of the marquis de Rochechouart. To avoid the abuses, the capitouls will have to henceforth send every month the control of the company, with the names of died and the substitutes.

Knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit (1731)

With Versailles, his/her friend Germain Louis Chauvelin receives on August 17th, 1727 the seals, because Charles Jean Baptiste Fleuriau de Morville gives up the place of Secretary of State of the foreign affairs. Chauvelin profited from the protection of Fare in the soldiers. The marquis of Fare, count de Laugère is from now on an important man at the Court. He is received on May 13rd, 1731, like knight of the Ordre of the Holy Spirit, because of an order of the king Louis XV.

War of succession of Poland (1733 - 1738)

In 1733, it is again the war, with died of Auguste II, voter of Saxony and king de Pologne. February 1st, 1733, the Polish diet chooses to him like successor the father-in-law of king de France, Stanislas Leczinski. This choice is partly with the money of France. But the empress of Russia and the emperor of Germany Charles VI of the Holy roman Empire send troops against him. It is the War of succession of Poland (1733-1738).

Marriage of his/her daughter (1735)

His/her daughter, Francoise Melanie of Fare (1716 - 1782) Marie a few days later on April 13rd, 1735 with Bouthillier de Savigny, young colonel with the Regiment of Cambrésis. Its ancestors were close relations of Richelieu and his/her grandmother a sister of Bossuet.

General lieutenant with the government of Languedoc

The marquis always at that time holds general lieutenancy with the government of Languedoc for the the Cevennes, the Gévaudan, the Vivarais and the Velay. This load is made difficult because of policy followed against the Protestants. In his absence, the intendant makes carry out certain Roussel, in Montpellier, on November 30th, 1728. The lieutenant-general obeys the orders and makes apply the decisions of the king and his ministers.

Since 1724, Fare serves the king like his fathers before him and as almost all the nobility did it before Louis XIV. It succeeded in being made like in the province, in spite of the committed crimes of other servants of this king against the Protestants. Repression is brutal and hard tens of years. Philippe Charles of Fare sends to the king an extremely detailed report dated May 16th 1728

April 3rd, 1730 a judgment of Philippe Charles of Fare, sends nine Acute-Dead women with , following the surprise of an assembly chaired by prédicant François Roux, with the Farmhouse of Droppings, close to Nimes. They belong to the lower middle class. They are joined soon by Marion Cannac, of Lacaune, which is imprisoned for libertinage . Its horrible jurements and blasphemies make that the huguenotes reject it. But the catholic Counter-Reformation is concerned little with this kind of details. The marquis receives a petition of the families of the prisoners nîmoises, but in an absolute monarchy the governors must obey the orders even most unjust. A claim with the Cardinal Fleury and the promise of the payment of an important ransom, do not make it possible to release these poor women.

A letter of February 13rd, 1732 of the Intendant of Bernage wire, with the count Louis Phélypeaux de Saint-Florentin, Secretary of State of the reformed alleged Religion shows us that on this date persecutions against the Protestants redouble.

The foolish expenditure of Philippe Charles of Fare

Philippe Charles bought this load, and has on this lieutenancy a patent of reserve of 200.000 books. Fare orders in all the province because of a patent of the King. This patent is necessary, and each general lieutenant has his district, and each one of them cannot order on the district of the others. Philippe Charles of Fare feels reluctant like all the aristocrats to count. The Duc of Luynes writes that in Languedoc it there tenoit a great state, and who cost him in the last years all the more expensive as having wanted to serve the last campaigns, its crew étoit obliged with the return of each countryside to cross all the kingdom, to turn over to the known as States.

Whereas the nobility carries out large train since Louis XIV because of the pensions, of the only honorary and lucrative loads, Luynes precise that Fare was ten years whole without having other helps to provide to this expenditure that incomes of its load, consistent, as I have just said it in: 18.000 books, of which it acquired avoit funds since it avoit bought the load; 17.000 books of fodder which the province gives to that which orders there, whatever it is, because the military rank done there nothing; and 20.000 books which the King gives to that which orders there for S. Mr.

Its 20.000 books come from the sums of money which the king touches of the province. The province is immense, but account much of the poor. Philippe Charles of Fare must carry out large train to represent the king with dignity. The 55.000 books which it receives do not suffice for much near for the immense expenditure which it is obliged to make when it remains in its province.

Whereas in same time, François Bluche explains us why certain skilful courtiers recover fields or make exchanges of always unfavourable grounds to the monarch, Philippe Charles must sell to them his, partly out of money, to pay its debts, and for another share in life annuity.

In December 1736, Louis XV gives him the order to announce with the states of Languedoc that the king does not ask for a Dixième, to begin of January 1st, 1737.

The general lieutenancy of High-Brittany (1738)

After the peace which is signed in Vienna in 1738, it obtains the general lieutenancy of the Nantes county, on the resignation of the marshal Victor Marie d' Estrées, and dislocates same functions in Languedoc. Philippe-Charles of Fare goes to the Duc of Luynes, his friend, to announce to him that the king had just given him the general lieutenancy of Brittany, and with Mr. Louis François Armand de Vignerot of Plessis, duke of Richelieu, that of Languedoc.

These deus general lieutenancies is by no means similar. In Languedoc there are three general lieutenants, who are Mr. Jean-Baptiste Desmarets, marquis de Maillebois, Mr. Louis de Prie, and Fare, then Mr. Mr. Louis François Armand de Vignerot of Plessis, duke of Richelieu.

Each one of these general lieutenants has only 6.000 books of salary or approximately. But the rule is that each one must hold in turn the States, which are held every year. The States give to that of the general lieutenants, who holds them 36.000 books, and it passed of use that these 36.000 books are always paid even with those which do not hold the aforementioned States. This sum paying itself only every three years, they is 12.000 books per annum. These is thus 18.000 books that a lieutenancy is worth.

Philippe Charles of Fare asks in 1734 to be paid as general lieutenant employee all the year. This grace of the king is granted to him. Fare touches 20.400 books, at a rate of 1.700 books per month. But, since the end of the war, Mr. the Cardinal of Fleury judge in connection with making a cutting off on this pay of the commanders. They touch only the months when they reside indeed in their provinces. The money goes in the pockets of Fleury which buys with works of Article.

Fare is thus seen in impossibility of supporting its expenditure all the year or only in the time of the meeting of the States, by losing the salaries of the other months where it auroit not resided . This large servant of the state which finances his expenses made ask whether it auroit not some arrangement to be made there in which the advantage of the King was, and by which it was itself with range not to disturb his business more.

It is ready with all the sacrifices. Its currency is to serve its king. It is that of the last gentlemen mislaid at the XVIIIe century. It sacrifices its government of Alais, in Languedoc, where part of its family saw and which is worth, approximately 17.000 books. He lives in 1738, rue de Bourbon, Saint-Germain suburb.

4 million books

Rene Louis de Voyer de Paulmy d' Argenson says to us that Philippe Charles of Fare will spend 4 million books during his life. It must pay 200.000 books of patent of reserve on the lieutenancy of Brittany, with the heirs to Mr. marshal Victor Marie d' Estrées, but also perceive 200.000 books of patent of reserve on its load of Languedoc.

Fare pays the 200.000 books at the house of Estrées, and Richelieu pays only 120.000 books with Fare. Louis XV offers a patent of reserve to the duke of 100.000 books, and one of 220.000 books with Mr. of Fare. With the help of that the two patents of reserve are decreased of 80.000 francs. The duke of Luynes notices in its Mémoires : Fare loses indeed income, since it avoit 55.000 books without counting the salaries of general lieutenant employed; but I do not count them, because one vouloit to cut off them; instead of that it has nothing any more but the 27.000 books of the general lieutenancy of Brittany and its government which it preserves. But, it is not obliged any more to make any representation, since Mr. Louis de Brancas has the command of Brittany, and Mr. of Fare intends to save 25.000 books of revenue. Mr. de Richelieu and Mr. of Fare make their thanks with the King. It is in the cabinet of the cardinal that they are presented to His Majesty.

This Richelieu is a skilful courtier. On Sunday, September 13, 1739, with Marly, the king grants 12.000 books of increase to him on his salaries of the commander of Languedoc. These 12.000 books are of course taken on what is allocated to the King of the aforesaid the province. Philippe Charles of Fare asks only for 10.000 books and cannot obtain them. What determines it to leave, as underlines it the Duc of Luynes, it is this refusal on behalf of the king, and also this order of the Cardinal of Fleury to remove to him, the pay of general lieutenant, which he had enjoyed several years. Even inside the nobility, there exist families privileged compared to others.

In the month of August 1740, the king makes him the honor take it along to drive out with Luxembourg, and with Bordering. Philippe Charles of Fare becomes officially the lieutenant-general of the government of Brittany, in 1740.

The war of succession of Austria (1740 - 1748)

Before leaving to the war, Philippe Charles of Fare occupies with the Château of Versailles the S16 apartment, where lived prince de Tingry. This apartment located in the farmyard of superintendence is composed of three parts, including two with chimneys and of a mezzanine.

Philippe Charles of Fare had been named general lieutenant of the armies on April 1st, 1735. In 1740, at the beginning of the war of succession of Austria, it is employed with the army of Bavaria and Bohemian, and fights in Austria and Bohemia.

Knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the

December 20th, 1744 Philippe-Charles of Fare is created knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the, infante of Spain. The king into formless his close relations with his district in front of Freiburg, and warns the queen of this nomination by a mail. Fare is charged to give to Madam Dauphine the the gifts to the princess on her arrival to the Court.

The king more and more often has discussions with Philippe Charles of Fare to his rising. The meetings are short. The duke of Luynes writes that: At once that the King was equipped, it beckoned in Fare to follow it, and entered with him its cabinet; there remained rather little time there… Philippe-Charles joined after these talks the apartments of Madam the Dauphine one. Sometimes one day, it makes it redden while speaking to him about the Dolphin which by sympathy does not drink any more but of water, like it.

Charles Philippe d' Albert de Luynes learns how in Infante to play some part of cavagnole and Fare counts the points. They are joined sometimes by Louis XV and his close relations, in particular in February 1745. It accompanies the infante everywhere, as its load obliges there. But, like knight of Madam Dauphine the, that enables him to have its Entrées to the queen , which is an great honor for Fare. The marquis also goes up in fits with body riders of the king. He has even the privilege to attend the toilet of the queen, in particular in March 1745. Fare, although not being prince, in the capacity as knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the has carriers of chair with its delivered. He wants to even have the privilege, like the princes of blood or the large ones of Spain, to hold his tablecloth , at the time of the Pascale communion of Madam Dauphine the, but this privilege is refused to him.

The War of succession of continuous Austria

In April 1745, Philippe Charles of Fare must join an army on the Lahn, to take it along to join that of the prince de Conti. Then, the marquis receives the order to organize defenses of Strasbourg.

Philippe Charles of Fare is allocated to the Court while its army is in its winter quarters and on January 29th, 1746, Louis XV is informed by one of his close relations that: Mister of Fare being obliged to very often go to Mister and Madam the Dauphine one, is placed very inconveniently; it would be very content with that of Mr. the large prior if your majesty wanted the change preserving that at Mr. and Mrs. d' Orléans that of Mr. of Fare . February 13rd, 1746, there was a change of housing between Mr. of Fare and Mr. the large prior, that of Mr. the large prior who is in the wing of the princes was too tall for him; and that of Mr. of Fare which it found too small is in superintendence, (S22 apartments with 16); they exchanged .

In March 1746, Philippe Charles of Fare will order in Brittany in the place of the marshal Louis de Brancas, of which the age and the bad health do not enable him any more to make this voyage. Nobody is cleaner than Fare to fill this place with dignity and to live there honourably. Under the Old Mode, it is only in the time of the States that the lieutenant-general is obliged to go in his province. This new employment thus does not disturb the marquis of its service near the Dauphine one.

In 1746, Philippe Charles of Fare follows the prince de Conti to the army of Flanders and the seat of Mons. July 10th, the prince de Conti has under its orders an army corps, with which it invests Mons, the capital of the Austrian Hainaut. Twelve battalions defend it. But, Fare attacks the city and takes it. The half of prisoners are Dutch. Never Austria lost so many places, and Holland so much of soldiers. It is him which orders besieging them of Saint-Ghislain, fortress which undergoes the same fate on July 24th, 1746. Two weeks later, on August 2nd, Charleroi follows closely. It takes by storm the low city, after two days only of open trench. And the marquis of Fare enters Charleroi in the same conditions that one had taken all the cities which had wanted to resist: i.e. all the garrison is captive.

The citadel of Namur

The great project of Philippe Charles of Fare is of going to Maastricht, from where it could dominate the United Provinces easily. But not to leave anything behind oneself, it is necessary to besiege the important city of Namur. Prince Charles, who orders the army then, in vain does what it can to prevent this seat. At the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse is located Namur, whose citadel rises on a escarpé rock; and twelve other forts, built on the summit of the close rocks, seem to make Namur inaccessible to the attacks. It is one of the places known as of the barrier. The Prince de Gavre is the governor for the empress-queen. The Dutchmen, who keep the city, return neither obedience to him, nor honors. The prince de Conti and Philippe Charles of Fare force prince Charles to move away, and to let them besiege Namur in freedom.

At the Court, during this time, the Dauphine one is obliged at the time them ceremonies to make it replace by Rubempré, First rider. Philippe-Charles of Fare still fights following Raucoux, on October 11th, 1746, where Maurice of Saxony gains this battle vis-a-vis the Austrians.

Philippe Charles of Fareil joined then Metz and the Court of Versailles. At the end of three days of rest, the king asks him to join the Brittany. But, a letter announces that the military situation is arranged and it can remain near the Dauphine one.

Marshal of France (1746)

Philippe Charles of Fare learns the October 19th 1746 that the king gives him the stick of Marshal of France. The evening even, there goes to the duke of Luynes, where the Queen plays charts, after being soup. Fare, always very discrete, comes by the Cabinet, and makes require Madam de Luynes. This one playing with the Queen and not being able to leave it, known as with the Queen that Fare the request. But the Queen, suspecting apparently of what he étoit question, answers that the play being almost finished, it can wait. The duke of Luynes note: Indeed, it avoit already, announced the end of the play. Immediately after, it rose more abruptly than usually, and left immediately after, without seeing of Fare. The Queen always marked many kindness with Fare; she says that she likes it, and it is the universal feeling of all those which connoissent it. Fare, independently of the ceremonial, croyoit to give a mark of attachment to the Queen while coming to return account here to him that the King venoit to appoint it Marshal of France.

But how to explain this ungrateful and unjustified attitude towards this large servant of the royal family? It seems that the fact that the King did not name Marshal of France, Mr. of Mothe, his knight of honor of the Queen is the cause of her attitude. It rather coldly receives this poor Fare, the next morning, when it will make him its reverence, according to the use. And Philippe Charles of Fare learns a few days later which it will not hold any more the States, the duke of Penthièvre will replace it.

The marshal of Fare lent oath between the hands of the King. This ceremony was done in the room of the King, before the mass. It removed its sword, like wants it the tradition. There are only the captains of the guards which do not remove it. Philippe Charles of Fare came to the dinner from Mr. the Dolphin, which required how much it of him avoit given for its oath. He answers that he gave 250 louis and that he sent to Mr. Bontemps.

In December 1746, there exists different between Madam de Brancas and Philippe Charles of Fare on the command from the House from the Dauphine one. The king considers that this direction must be common. The duke of Luynes question this decision: a knight with the preference on a lady-in-waiting on all occasions. There is two years with the marriage of fire Mrs. Dauphine Mr. of Fare lent oath between the hands of Mrs. the Dauphine one, immediately after Mr. bishop of Mirepoix and before Mrs. de Brancas. We are born every with the vault, when the Queen is in her niche with the large platform, that the chaplain is the first near the niche, then the knight of honor and after him, the lady-in-waiting.

The borders (1747 - 1748), Court and Brittany

Philippe Charles of Fare leaves to order on the borders of the Luxembourg and in évêchés, with the beginning of the year 1747, until the peace of Aachen, on October 18th, 1748. Philippe Charles of Fare also remains at the Court during these two years and is sent to Strasbourg, in January 1747, to receive there the dauphine news, Marie-Josèphe of Saxony. It arrives there vêtue at the polonoise . It is large enough for its age, has rather beautiful teeth and a beautiful size, an unpleasant nose, but a great charm. Fare sends a mail to the king, and another at the same time with Madam de Luynes, in whom it sends the copy of that to him that it writes to the King. In this letter that I read, us says her husband, it starts by giving an account of the revelation of Dauphine and makes use of the term of us because it is given to him, but also to Madam de Brancas.

In the month of July 1747, it dislocates general lieutenancy of the Nantes county. In 1747, it is again created knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the, but of that of Saxony, the preceding one of Spain having died in layers.

In February 1747, the servants of Madam Dauphine the lends oath. Fare is the first. Bayeux does it with its for. Madam de Brancas does much difficulty to lend oath in third. She takes initially for pretext that one it avoit not informed first moment of the oath, and what Mr. of Fare demandoit of the squares, applicant that it devoit not to give an order in the room and that she devoit to be educated of all that there passoit. That is so long that Louis Phélypeaux de Saint-Florentin is obliged to say to him that Madam Dauphine the is strong tired to listen to it, and wishes that one finishes some and, adding that the rule was complied with. Lastly, Mrs. de Brancas accepts with much sorrow. At the time of the other marriage, the Court had already to support the claim of Madam de Brancas and to force it to obey.

Monday, June 26, 1747, in Versailles, the Court learns that Mr. de Chaulnes wants to buy thegeneral one of Brittany. The duke of Luynes dares to affirm that it is certain that the name of Chaulnes is in great consideration in Brittany. Pourtant its ancestor crushed the revolt of the red Bonnets. The Breton people remember that the subdued revolt, a wild repression followed. It made the dishonor of the duke of Chaulnes, then governor of Brittany. Ten thousand troops occupied the province and made amazing excesses. Mrs. de Sévigné spoke in her letters about the unpleasant languages about the thousands about peasants who were hung with the branches, along the roads. The Parliament, culprit not to have contained the revolt, was exiled with Vannes. But, it is partly because of the fact of these misdeeds that the duke of Chaulnes is determined to negotiate a purchase. This market does not appear advantageous to the duke of Luynes. The marshal of Fare, which has this load, sells it 560.000 books. It is worth only 24.000 books of revenue any made deduction, and the patent of reserve that Chaulnes obtained is of 280.000 books, like that of Fare. It is agreed in the market which 100.000 books will remain between the hands of Chaulnes non-returnable, of which it makes 10.000 books of revenue with Fare. By this arrangement, Philippe Charles is with the same income that it had, and 180.000 money books to pay its debts or to make such use that it will judge by the way. He quickly will spend them.

Because of money of Chaulnes and certainly of the sale of other grounds, Philippe Charles of Fare can give great suppers. He invites there the Dolphin and the Dauphine one in the abscence of the king at the end of October 1747. The latter prefer certainly the company of the marquis to that of Pompadour, which it calls mom whore or the pompom . Philippe Charles, big eater, knowing himself there in kitchen, accustomed to feast largely in his places, is a host worthy of the Dolphin and his wife. Mr. marshal of Fare holds the greatest state that it is possible at the Court, and there is received with great satisfaction by the king.

The free gift (1748)

Let us add to that in October 1748, the States of Brittany grant a free gift

Fare succeeded in convincing four hundred people as of the opening of the states. The marshal of Fare arrives from Brittany the 4 or on December 5th, 1748. It held the States to with it, and lived there largely and magnificiently. He tells with the King, the great cover, a rather singular event of hunting There is in Normandy Mr. de Roncherolles. Roncherolles are same house as the Bridge Saint Pierre. They like much hunting, and have a crew for wild boar. There are twelve or fifteen days they attacked in a forest, close to Coutances, which one calls the forest of Villedieu, a large wild boar, which killed or wounded eleven dogs to them, without being able to take it. Piqués of this failure, not only they spent the night, but they slept on the place to start again the following day. The wild boar did much way during the night; they still followed it and slept in the place where they hoped to start again it the following day. But their project was useless. The wild boar always went in front of him. Lastly, they could join it only the fourth day, to twenty-eight or thirty miles of the place where they swage it attacked. They étoient with two miles and half of Rennes. They did not judge in connection with appearing with the states out of hunting clothes, but they made raise the head and sent it to of Viarmes, intendant of Brittany. Mr. of Fare called to the king that it avoit eaten this head which étoit of an enormous size.

Knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the

In the month of April 1749, Sassenage, menin of the Dolphin, is declared knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the, in survival of the marshal Philippe Charles of Fare which always keeps its load and its salaries and which continues to be useful. But, Fare does not limit any more its sights with the load of knight of honor. He thinks of the command of Alsace, which could become vacant well by and the infirmities of the marshal François de Franquetot de Coigny. And then, Philippe Charles of Fare likes his freedom and is extremely well with the King .

Good child , as the regent called it, has many friends and wants to be able to live with them. Philippe Charles of Fare is now sixty two years old, and as it does not have wire, it wishes to have for reversioner prince de Croy, son-in-law of Harcourt and nephew of Mrs. de Lède. This Prince requested from Fare this survival . He offered 80.000 books to him. This arrangement could not be done. The king named Sassenage, which had however not required it, according to the duke of Luynes.

This last, on Thursday, April 24, 1749, goes to the reception of the marshal Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet of Beautiful-Isle, at the Parliament. Its witnesses are the marshal of Fare, the duke of Gesvres and him. Their reports/ratios are always also friendly.

May 10th, 1749, Marie-Josèphe of Saxony makes a miscarriage. Fare writes it with Mrs. de Luynes. In its memories, it notes that Fare is not the only one to ruin itself by serving the king. Chaulnes, which bought the general lieutenancy of Brittany to him, received the orders of the King to go to hold this year the States of Brittany. The King gives 100.000 francs to that which holds the States in the name of Its Majesty. The province gives 30.000 books and to his wife 15.000 books. But though the States last only six weeks or approximately, the duke knows that the expenditure exceeds much these 145.000 books. Fare is not any more governor, but at the Court it cumulates the honors because of its two functions of knight of honor of Madam Dauphine the and Marshal of France. In Paris, he moved and in 1750, he lives street of Sevres. December 3rd, 1751, it obtains the government of Gravelines. and that of Alès is dislocated. He thanks the king on December 7th, 1751. This government is worth only 17.000 books of revenues, but the duke of Orleans had made some add twelve in favor of Mr. de Broglie. The king cuts off this increase by giving the government. Here the arrangement which was made: Fare has the government of Alès in Languedoc, which is worth 15.000 books.

This government is in the middle of the grounds of the prince de Conti. prince de Conty the désiroit compared to suitability. It required it without salary. However as there were some expenses to make, one left him only 1.000 ecus on this government. Philippe Charles of Fare is of this fact governor of Gravelines with 29.000 books of revenues. The cutting off of the 12.000 books is made according to the intentions of the king, and the prince de Conti has what it wished.

To die for its prince

Philippe Charles of Fare is now sixty five years old. At that time the retirement pensions are rare. One dies in his very old station, when one does not die during the first years of his life or with the war. But Philippe Auguste is in perfect health. Alas for him, in 1752, the Dauphin is reached Petite pox. France is very late in the treatment of this disease. It kills part of the world population and disfigures the survivors. The doctors of Montpellier claim that the Petite pox is not contagious. The experiment of Fare shows the opposite of this reasoning. The disease of Mgr the Dolphin is transmitted to its first servant and the marshal of Fare, his trusty servants.

They are sacrificed to save their prince. The marquis is afraid of the small pox. His/her friends advise to him not to enter to the Dolphin, but he affirms that he is not afraid; however he even says in this time, but without being frightened: If I worts small pox, I in mourrois: my father and my grandfather died about it. Philippe Charles of Fare rightly. He dies of the Petite pox, in Paris on September 4th, 1752, 68 years old.

Like his father, Philippe Charles of Fare wrote poems. He also wrote: Newspaper of the head office of Saint-Guilain, ordered by Mr. the Marquis of Fare, in 1746 . 4 p.

AFTER DEAD SA

Charles Philippe d' Albert de Luynes loses a friend. The Père Anselme will be very eulogistic for Philippe Charles when he writes the genealogy of the Marshals of France and Fare. The duke of Croÿ speaks about the poor Mr. of Fare, liked everyone . Only Rene Louis de Voyer de Paulmy d' Argenson, like at one time Louis de Rouvroy, duke of Saint-Simon, is avenged for him while writing: the marshal of Fare dies involved in debt of 500.000 books, after having paid part of its debts by the sale of its general lieutenancy to the government of Brittany. It avoit eaten more than four million, so much sound although of paragouintes exerted by light means and pleasant, but false qualities. It avoit stripped of all its goods his/her Paparel father-in-law, who was condemned to lose the head, then pardoned of the life, but its confiscated goods given to a son-in-law who laissoit almost to die it of hunger, like his/her brother-in-law, which still saw, but very unhappy. It étoit a true courtier, a society man of this century, born without concern, big eater, connoissant themselves in kitchen, feasting largely in its places, while deserving no, having badly made the war, true marshal of court; reconciling with which pouvoit to be to him useful, tearing the virtue, friend of the defect, merry and jovial, friend of everyone seemingly and not loving anybody. It leaves a sister who does not have a good, and with which one does not doubt that the king does not make a large pension.

The Court became a pitiless universe, and good child , which was very appreciated of the king and the ministers, sees his portrait traced by an old small, conceited and envieux courtier and by this large carnivore, alive in disgrace. The Marshal of France, Philippe Charles of Fare, always served his kings and the regent, on all the battle fields, in Madrid, in the provinces and in Versailles accurately.

October 31st, 1752, the king gives to Mr. of Saint-Severin his apartment (AP 75), to which one joint that of Mr. de Sassenage, who is above (AP 106) by a small interior degree. September 17th, 1752 the king lays out of the government of Gravelines in favor of Mr. marshal of Mothe. This government, which is worth only 20.000 books of revenue, had been increased by 9.000 books, when it was given to Mr. marshal of Fare. The sovereign who has wants to give it well to the marshal of Mothe, but by cutting off 12.000 books. Mr. of Mothe gives the government of Salins, which is worth 15.000 of them, but reflects before accepting Gravelines with the cutting off, then it changes opinion and thanks Louis XV.

The girl of Philippe Charles of Fare is the last as of Fare of the elder branch. Widow without posterity of the sergeant-count Claude Bouthillier de Chavigny in 1774. It remarie with the future general-count Louis Groult of the Rivers, but he does not have a child with it.
