Under date of October 24-November 3, 1664, Comminges announces the departure from London of the Count and Countess de Grammont.
The Count was present with the King at the conquest of Franche Comte in 1660, and in particular at the siege of Dôle in February, 1668. The Count and Countess were subsequently in England, as King Charles himself writes to the Duchess of Orleans on the 24th October, 1669, that the Count and Countess, with their family, were returning to France by way of Dieppe.
In 1668, according to St. Evremond, the Count was successful in procuring the recall of his nephew, the Count de Guiche.
Evelyn mentions in his Diary dining on the 10th May, 1671, at Sir Thomas Clifford's, "where dined Monsieur de Grammont and several French noblemen."
Madame de Sévigné names the Count in her letter of 5th January, 1672.
He was present at the siege of Maestricht, which surrendered to the King in person on the 29th June, 1673.
Madame de Sévigné names the Count again in her letter of the 31st July, 1675.
The Duchess of Orleans (the second) relates the great favour in which the Count was with the King.
He was present at the sieges of Cambray and Namur in April, 1677, and February, 1678.
We obtain many glimpses of the Count and Countess in subsequent years in the pages of Madame de Sévigné, Dangeau, and others, which may be consulted in preference to filling your columns with extracts.
