History

Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette (1757-1834), was a French military leader and a politician. Born into a family of noble military lineage, he droped his formal birth name right after the 1789 Revolution. Signing his mail with « Lafayette », in a single word, was a way for him to show his position towards nobility.

As a transition figure, rather liberal for his time, he sailed to the newly declared United States to join the uprising against British oppression. Willing to convince King Louis XVI to defend the colonists' struggles, he assisted the rebellious Americans. As a result of his passion and willingness to serve, he was named a general by George Washington and assumed increased military responsability. Known as the "Hero of Two Worlds" after returning to his home country, he became one of the eight honorary citizens of the United States of America.

Partisan of a moderate revolution, concerned with the respect of order, faithful to the King but promoting a constitutional monarchy, he became the most popular character in France. In 1792, he fled the country but was arrested and imprisonned by Austrian forces for five years.
