Marmont (1774-1852) was a French general and nobleman who rose to the rank of Marshal of France by Napoleon, was made knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit and a Grand Officer of the Order of St Louis by Louis XVIII and was awarded the title Duke of Ragusa. He stayed loyal to Louis XVIII during the Hundred Days. After the July Revolution, he accompanied the king into exile and forfeited his marshalate. His desire to return to France was never gratified and he travelled in central and eastern Europe and in the Middle East, settling finally in Vienna. He died in Venice. Prov. Count Charles de Divonne (label).
