In 1711 he was made Graf von Sachsen count of Saxony; in French comte de Saxe. His father bought him a German regiment in the French service in 1719 and Saxe quickly won recognition for his innovations in military training especially in musketry.J.M. White: Marshal Saxe is one of the forgotten figures of the first half of the eighteenth century; yet not only is he one of its most vivid personalities but one of its outstanding generals. He takes his place among the great mercenary soldiers of a military age: Schomburg Schulenburg and Prince Eugene in the west Keith and Lacy in the east; and there is leason to rate him even more highly than any of these and compare his achievements with those of Marlborough. At the close of his career Louis XV revived for him the splendid title of Marshal-General of the King’s Camps and Armies a title that had been borne previously only by the legendary Turenne.Expertise by Jean-Paul VEYSSIÈRE Manoir de Bellay 37370 MARRAY .

Nivelle de la Chaussé's 1742 Amour pour Amour. The opera was first performed on 9 November 1771 stayed in the French repertory until at least 1821 and enjoyed worldwide success. The story unfolds as follows:After being shipwrecked the "Persian" probably Armenian merchant Sander and his servant Ali find themselves in a strange palace. A banquet has been laid though there is no sign of the owner and the two help themselves to the feast. When Sander plucks a rose from the palace garden to give to his daughter Zémire the beast-like Azor appears. He is the owner of the palace and says Sander must pay with his life for stealing the rose unless he can persuade one of his daughters to take his place. When she hears what has happened Zémire agrees to sacrifice her life for her father and Ali leads her to the palace where she almost faints at the fearsome sight of Azor. However Azor proves to be a kind host showing Zémire her family in a magic mirror and even allowing her to visit home again so long as she promises to return. After a stay with her family Zémire decides to return to Azor and finds him in despair because he believes she has abandoned him. She protests that she cares about him and the magic spell on Azor is lifted now he has found love. He changes from a beast to a handsome prince and claims his kingdom with Zémire at his side.The Dutch poet and playwright Pieter Pijpers 1749-1805 from Amersfoort was a Roman Catholic in the Dutch Patriot party. He had to flee to Belgium after the Patriots' failed Democratic revolution of 1787 but was awarded many high positions after the Batavian revolution of 1795.
