Adolphe de Forcade La Roquette

Adolphe de Forcade La Roquette (8 April 1820 – 15 August 1874) was a French politician.

La Roquette was born in Paris, the half-brother of the Maréchal de Saint-Arnaud.

He distinguished himself by his severity towards the opposition, and disapproved of the concessions of the Empire libéral in the 1860s.

After the formation of the cabinet of Émile Ollivier on 2 January 1870, he resigned as a member of the senate and had himself elected député for Lot-et-Garonne, thereafter becoming one of the leaders of the right.

In 1847, he became joint owner, with his half-brother the Maréchal de Saint-Arnaud, of the Château Malromé, which he had restored, and where decades later Toulouse-Lautrec died.
