François-Xavier-Marc-Antoine de Montesquiou-Fézensac

His kinsman Anne-Pierre, marquis de Montesquiou-Fézensac would serve alongside him in the National Assembly.

He would stand out alongside the Abbé Maury by his oratory, and was elected president of the National Assembly three times.

He returned to France after 9 Thermidor (27 July 1794) and immediately took up the royalist cause as one of the agents of Louis XVIII.

In his brief term he appointed Pierre-Paul Royer-Collard and director of the library François Guizot secretary general.

Elected deputy by the department of Gers, he opted for the Chamber of Peers with the title of Count (as of 31 August 1817) and Duke (as of 30 April 1821).
