[434] General Adam Adalbert Count von Neipperg (1775-1829) was sent by Francis II., in July 1814, to escort Marie-Louise. He won the Empress' favours, accompanied her, in 1816, to Parma, where she made him Master of her Household and married him morganatically, in 1822, after the death of Napoleon. Their eldest son, the present Prince von Montenuovo (Neipperg = Neuberg = Montenuovo), was born on the 9th of August 1821.—T.
[435] Louis François Auguste Prince de Léon, Cardinal Duc de Rohan-Chabot (1788-1833), Archbishop of Besançon, was brought up in England, where his family were living in emigration. He returned to France, in 1809, with his wife, née de Sérent, and became a Court chamberlain under Napoleon, and an officer in the Red Musketeers under Louis XVIII. The Duchesse de Rohan-Chabot was burnt to death in 1815, and her husband renounced the world, took orders and became successively Grand-vicar of Paris, Archbishop of Auch, Archbishop of Besançon (1829) and a cardinal (1830). He left France at the Revolution of July, but returned to his diocese in 1832, on the outbreak of the cholera, caught the infection, and died of it.—T.
[436] Madame Lenormant drew the following portrait of M. de Rohan-Chabot in 1813:
"He was in all the flower of his youth and had, in spite of a shade of somewhat pronounced fatuousness, the most charming, the most delicate, I would almost say the most virginal face imaginable. M. de Chabot's appearance was one of perfect elegance: his beautiful hair was curled with great art and taste; he made an extreme study of his dress; he was pale; his voice was very sweet. His manners were most distinguished, but haughty. He was not clever, but, although generally ill-informed, he had the gift of languages; he grasped quickly and almost musically not the genius of a language, but its accent."—B.
