He was an heir of the noble families of [[House of Montmorency\|Montmorency]] and of [[:fr:Maison de Laval-Lezay\|Laval]], styled ''Marquis de Laval'' then ''Prince de Montmorency-Laval'' before succeeding to his father's titles in 1817. He was additionally created a [[grandee of Spain]] and [[~~:es:Ducado~~Duke ~~de San Fernando Luis\|duque de~~of San Fernando Luis]]. Adrien de Montmorency-Laval was a French army officer, before serving as [[Minister of Foreign Affairs (France)\|French foreign minister]] and as an ambassador during the [[Bourbon Restoration in France\|Bourbon Restoration]].{{sfn\|Courcelles\|1822\|p=32}} == Early years == His father was Lieutenant-General [[:fr:Anne-Alexandre-Marie de Montmorency-Laval\|Anne-Alexandre de Montmorency, 2nd Duc de Laval]], and his mother was Marie-Louise [[Duc de Piney\|de Montmorency-Luxembourg]] (1750–1829).<ref>[https://books.google.frcom/books?id=oB8VAAAAQAAJ~~&pg=PA415&lpg=PA415~~&dq=Joseph+Maurice+Annibal+comte+de+luxe&~~source~~pg=~~bl&ots=CssYdFBSDB&sig=3AR2myG5DHdaT1Rxsk1OHhCIEjs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gEj5VNnwLcuVauzugIgC&ved=0CGAQ6AEwCQ#v=onepage&q=Joseph%20Maurice%20Annibal%20comte%20de%20luxe&f=false~~PA415 ''Dictionnaire de la Noblesse'', 1824]</ref> Born in 1768 while his formidable great-grandfather, [[Marshal of France\|Marshal]] [[Guy André Pierre de Montmorency-Laval\|Guy-André-Pierre de Montmorency, the 1st duke]] was alive, Adrien was sent to be raised under the tuition of his uncle [[Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Laval\|Cardinal Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Laval]], [[Bishop of Metz\|Prince-Bishop of Metz]] and [[Grand Almoner of France]] in preparation for taking [[holy orders]].

Line 45 ⟶ 54: During the revolutionary wars his father appointed him as [[aide-de-camp]] and despatched him to Italy as a captain in the [[:fr:Régiment de Montmorency\|Montmorency Regiment]] being stationed at [[Rome]]. After the ban on ''émigrés'' was lifted in 1800 he returned to France. Adrien de Laval was one of the first to congratulate [[Louis XVIII]] at [[Calais]] in 1814, and the king promoted him ''[[maréchal de camp]]'' (major-general) and bestowed on him the style of ''Prince de Montmorency-Laval''; he succeeded to his father's dukedom in 1817. On 15 August ~~15,~~ 1814, he was appointed French ambassador to Spain. There he came into conflict with [[Ceballos]]. But on receiving news of the return of Napoleon from [[Elba]], a reconciliation was effected and Montmorency-Laval agreed to stay in [[Madrid]], contrary to instructions from the French government. He successfully managed the somewhat tense relations between the Spanish [[House of Bourbon\|Borbóns]] and the newly restored French [[House of Bourbon\|Bourbons]], being honoured in 1815 as a [[Order of the Golden Fleece\|knight of the Golden Fleece]] and made ~~duque~~[[Duke deof San Fernando Luis]] with the rank of [[grandee of Spain\|grandee]]. His next ambassadorial posting was to Rome, where he arrived just before the end of [[Pius VII]]'s reign and was present during the [[conclave]] for the election of his successor as pope; he supported the efforts of [[Habsburg, Austria\|Austria]] in favour of [[Pope Pius VIII\|Cardinal Castiglioni]]'s candidacy. However, [[Genga, Marche\|Cardinal Annibale della Genga]] was elected as [[Leo XII]]. On 20 March 1828, the Duc de Laval was appointed [[List of Ambassadors of France to Austria\|French ambassador to Austria]]. His name was also mooted as a candidate to be [[king of Greece]], but he twice refused [[Charles X of France\|King Charles X]]'s proposals. He was then posted as [[List of Ambassadors of France to the United Kingdom\|Ambassador to the Court of St James's]], returning to Paris just before [[Charles X of France\|Charles X]]'s exile. At Talleyrand's request, he dealt with unpleasant issues in [[London]] caused by his relatives, [[Duke of Montmorency\|Louis, duc de Valençay]] and his father [[Duke of Dino\|Edmond, duca di Dino]], who had become addicted to gambling. Declining to swear allegiance to [[Louis Philippe I\|King Louis-Philippe]], the Duke and Duchess retired to the [[Montigny-le-Gannelon\|chateau de Montigny]], where they received visitors, including [[Talleyrand]]. The Duke died on 16 June 1837 and, having been predeceased by his son at [[Naples]] in 1819, his youngest brother Eugène succeeded to his French titles before they became extinct, whereas his Spanish ''ducado'' and ''grandeza'' devolved upon his elder daughter and her descendants. == Honours and titles == [[File:~~Collier~~Order ~~Officiers~~of dethe ~~l'Ordre~~Holy duSpirit ~~Saint-Esprit~~(heraldry).svg\|thumb\|right\|155px\|Collar of the [[Order of the Holy Spirit\|Saint-Esprit]]]] * [[File:Crown of a Duke of France.svg\|45px]] [[Duke]] of France * [[File:Corona de Grande de España.svg\|45px]] [[Grandee]] of Spain Line 65 ⟶ 74: ==See also== {{~~portal\|Kingdom of France~~Portal\|Biography\|Politics}} * ''[[The Red and the Black]]'' * [[Peerage of France]] * [[List of Ambassadors of France to the United Kingdom]] * [[:es:Ducado de San Fernando Luis\|Ducado de San Fernando Luis]] {{es}} ~~==External links==~~ * [http://www.almanachdegotha.org/ www.almanachdegotha.org] ==References== '''Citations''' {{~~reflist~~Reflist}} '''Sources''' {{refbegin}} * {{cite book\|last=Courcelles\|first=Jean Baptiste Pierre Jullien de\|title=Histoire généalogique et héraldique des pairs de France: des grands dignitaires de la couronne, des principales familles nobles du royaume et des maisons princières de l'Europe, précédée de la généalogie de la maison de France\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xkoWAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA5-PA32\|~~accessdate~~access-date=2014-04-20\|year=1822\|publisher=L'auteur}}▼ * {{cite book\|ref=harv ▲ \|last=Courcelles\|first=Jean Baptiste Pierre Jullien de\|title=Histoire généalogique et héraldique des pairs de France: des grands dignitaires de la couronne, des principales familles nobles du royaume et des maisons princières de l'Europe, précédée de la généalogie de la maison de France\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xkoWAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA5-PA32\|accessdate=2014-04-20\|year=1822\|publisher=L'auteur}} * « Anne Adrien Pierre de Montmorency-Laval », in Louis-Gabriel Michaud, ''Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne: histoire par ordre alphabétique de la vie publique et privée de tous les hommes avec la collaboration de plus de 300 savants et littérateurs français ou étrangers'', 2e édition, 1843–1865 [détail de l’édition] * « Montmorency (Anne-Adrien-Pierre de) », in Pierre Larousse, ''Grand dictionnaire universel du XIXe siècle'' * [https://web.archive.org/web/20100206165048/http://www.heraldique-europeenne.org/Regions/France/Montmorency.htm "Maison Montmorency", ''heraldique-europeenne.org''] {{refend}} Line 96 ⟶ 100: {{Ministry of Jean-Baptiste de Martignac}} {{Foreign Ministers of France}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Montmorency-Laval, Anne Pierre Adrien, duc de}} [[Category:1768 births]] [[Category:1837 deaths]] [[Category:House of Montmorency-Laval\|Anne Pierre Adrien]] [[Category:Politicians from Paris]] [[Category:Ambassadors of France to Spain]] Line 106 ⟶ 111: [[Category:Dukes of Spain]] [[Category:Grandees of Spain]] [[Category:French diplomats]]▼ [[Category:French generals]] [[Category:Knights of Malta]] [[Category:Grand ~~Croix~~Cross of the ~~Légion~~Legion ~~d'honneur~~of Honour]] [[Category:~~Recipients~~Knights of the ~~Order~~Golden Fleece of ~~the Holy Spirit~~Spain]] [[Category:~~Knights~~19th-century ofFrench ~~the Golden Fleece~~nobility]] ~~[[Category:19th-century French people]]~~ [[Category:Ambassadors of France to the Austrian Empire]] [[Category:Ambassadors of France to the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Diplomats from Paris]] ▲[[Category:19th-century French diplomats]]
