Louis-Auguste Juvénal des Ursins d'Harville, Count of Harville (23 April 1749 – 8 May 1815) was a French military officer and politician in late 18th-century France.

Around the year 1360, Pierre, the son of Simon, moved from Harville in Beauce to Les Bordes, today part of La Celle-les-Bordes.

In the year 1383, Guillaume I de Harville was a falconer for Louis of France, Count of Valois, Duke of Orleans, brother of King Charles VI.

His son, Claude, a courtier, advisor, and friend of Henry IV of France built the Château de La Celle in 1610.

His grandson, Claude-Constant-Esprit Jouvenel des Ursins d'Harville, married in 1744 to Marie-Antoinette Goyon de Matignon, the daughter of Thomas, son of the celebrated Marshal of France, Charles-Auguste.

The nobility had a privileged place in French society, and many political and military positions were traditionally restricted to men of high birth.

According to a period account (which can be found George Sand's autobiography), the Count had been a little indifferent and hesitant at the Battle of Jemappes while under the command of Dumouriez.

Referred to the Committee of Public Safety, the Count of Harville was accused by Robert and defended by Guillemardet and Camille Desmoulins, who obtained his freedom.

In Sand's Story of My Life, he is said to have entered a deep depression sometime during the late 1790s, which may have resulted from him having been imprisoned, or the deaths of two people close to him: his aunt, Elisabeth-Louise, and his brother-in-law, Jean-René Henri de Chasteigner, both of whom were executed by Guillotine in July 1794.

[3][5][6] He left no issue though, and the rights then passed once more collaterally through his sister, then to either Antoine (who may have been named after Anthony II) or to Francis, who adopted the arms and received the titles of his grand-uncle.
