François Marie de Broglie, 1st Duke of Broglie

[1] The war in Italy called him into the field again in 1733, and in the following year he was made marshal of France.

In the campaign of 1734 he was one of the chief commanders on the French side, and he fought the Battles of Parma and Guastalla.

A famous episode was his narrow personal escape when his quarters on the Secchia (battle of Quistello) were raided by the enemy on the night of 14 September 1734.

[1] In 1735 he directed a war of positions with credit, but he was soon replaced by Marshal de Noailles.

[1] In 1742, during the War of the Austrian Succession, Broglie was appointed to command the French army in Germany, but the only success obtained was in the action of Sahay (25 May 1742), for which he was created duc de Broglie and made a peer of France.
