Biographical History
The Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) was a French patriot who enlisted in the Continental Army with the rank of Major-General. He was second-in-command to General Washington. He also participated in the French Revolution until 1790 when he was forced out of the country under the rule of the Jacobin party. He returned to France in 1800 and was active in French and European politics until he died in 1834.
Lafayette's estate near Paris was called LaGrange.
French statesman and soldier, major general in the American Revolution.
Lieutenant en 1773, lié avec Franklin, Marie-Joseph-Paul-Yves-Roch-Gilbert Motier, marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) partit en Amérique en 1777 pour aider les insurgés. De retour en France, il contribua à décider le gouvernement à apporter son aide officielle à la guerre d’Indépendance américaine et repartit en 1780 pour l’Amérique, où il fut nommé maréchal de camp en 1782. Franc-maçon, adepte des idées nouvelles, il fut favorable au doublement du tiers état lors de la réunion de l’Assemblée des notables de 1788. Il fut élu député de la noblesse aux états généraux de 1789. Nommé commandant de la Garde nationale après la prise de la Bastille, il voulut être l’instrument de la réconciliation du roi et de la Révolution, lors des journées des 5 et 6 octobre 1789 et de la fête de la Fédération nationale du 14 juillet 1790 ; mais il perdit peu à peu sa popularité, surtout après avoir fait tirer le 17 juillet 1791 sur les manifestants du Champ-de-Mars venus demander la déchéance du roi. Partisan du maintien d’une monarchie libérale, il se sépara des Jacobins pour fonder le Club des Feuillants. Il poussa le roi à la guerre et fut nommé commandant de l’armée du Centre, puis de l’armée du Nord. Il se prononça contre la suspension de Louis XVI et, accusé, cessa de lutter le 19 août 1792 contre les Autrichiens, qui l’internèrent à Magdebourg puis à Olmütz jusqu’en 1797. Député de la Seine aux Cent-Jours, il fit partie de ceux qui exigèrent l’abdication de Napoléon. Député de la Sarthe (1818) puis de Meaux (1827) et membre de la Charbonnerie, il participa encore à la révolution de 1830.

Enthusiastic over the news of the American Revolution, he left France to join George Washington's army. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1777, where Congress appointed him a major general. After a trip to France in 1779-80, where he negotiated for French aid, he returned to America and served with distinction in the Virginia campaign that ended with the surrender of the British general Lord Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781. After returning to France in 1782 and allying himself with the revolutionary bourgeoisie, he became one of the most powerful men during the first few years of the French Revolution. His prestige was largely responsible for the installation of Louis Philippe as king of the French. Lafayette's unswerving courage, integrity, and idealism made him a popular symbol of the bond between France and the United States.

He joined George Washington as a major general. Serving with distinction, Lafayette lead America forces to several victories. Once he returned to France he convinced the French government to assist the revolutionaries through his relationship with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson
By 1791 Lafayette had alienated himself from both the French nobility, because he advocated a constitutional monarchy, and with the populace, because he used military force to squash a crowd rebellion. In 1792 he lost favor with the King and Queen and his own troops. He fled the country after he was denounced as a traitor. In 1800, Lafayette returned to France only to find that his fortune had been confiscated. In 1830 Lafayette led the revolution that dethroned the Bourbons. He promoted a constitutional monarchy and helped place Louis Philippe on the throne. By 1834 he regretted this decision and began to promote the idea that France should be a republic.
