Louis Victor Leon, Count de Rochechouart , (1788-1858) would have lived an improbable life if not for the fact that he was born just before the French Revolution and lived through the Napoleonic years. The opposition to both cost his family their fortune. In opposition to Napoleon he served as an officer with emigre units supported by the British and Portugese and most notably under the Russian Tsar Alexander I. Having assisted in the restoration of the French royal house Rochechouart went on to great politcal and financial success under King Lous XVIII.
