François Dominique de Reynaud, Comte de Montlosier

In September 1791, after the dissolution of the Assembly, Montlosier fled to Germany where he tried to join the counter-revolutionary Army of Condé at Coblenz.

[1] After the cannonade of Valmy, Montlosier withdrew to Hamburg, and thence to London, where he avoided English society, moving exclusively among the French exiles.

[1] In his Courrier de Londres, published in London, he advocated moderation and the abandonment by the exiles of any idea of revenge.

After four years' labor Montlosier submitted his work to a specially appointed committee, by which it was rejected because of the stress laid on the feudal limitations of the royal authority.

[1] His views were no more acceptable to Louis XVIII than they had been to the emperor, and he devoted himself to agriculture until he was roused by the clerical and reactionary policy of Charles X.

[citation needed] He had no part in the revolution of 1830, but supported Louis Philippe's government, and entered the House of Peers in 1832.
