Armand d'Artois

Armand d'Artois (3 October 1788 – 28 March 1867) was a 19th-century French playwright and librettist.

The success of his play Les Finacés in 1808 caused him to devote himself entirely to literature.

He left military service after receiving the Legion of Honour in 1818.

A very prolific author, he wrote under various collective pseudonyms such as Emmanuel, with Emmanuel Arago, M. Sapajou, with Francis baron d'Allarde and Gabriel de Lurieu.

As managing director of the Théâtre des Variétés from 1830 to 1836, he also directed Le Nain couleur de rose, a political, literary, and moral newspaper from 15 September 1815 to 5 May 1816 and collaborated with La Foudre by Alphonse de Beauchamp.
