Victurnien de Rochechouart, 10th Duke of Mortemart

Victurnien de Rochechouart, 10th Duke of Mortemart (8 February 1752 in Everly – 4 July 1812 in Paris) was a French general and politician.

After taking part in the second Assembly of Notables and supporting Protestants' claims in the parlement (where he appeared as a peer),[2] on 24 March 1789 he was elected a noble deputy for the bailliage of Sens in the Estates General of 1789.

There he supported Jacques Necker's plans, but opposed the reforms demanded by the majority of the assembly – he notably protested against the suppression of the rights of péage and minage.

He fought with the royalist army in the 1792 campaign and then moved to England, where he was welcomed by George III with "kindness"[3] and "distinction".

[2] Napoleon I made him a member of the conseil général for the Seine department[4] on 26 March 1812, but he died suddenly in July that year from a vicious fever.
