Claude-Louis-Raoul de La Châtre, otherwise known as Louis, duc de La Chastre (30 September 1745 – 13 July 1824) was an aristocraticFrench military commander, diplomat and politician of the 18th and 19th centuries.[1]
His father, the marquis, was guillotined by the Revolutionaries in 1793 (when he succeeded to his father's titles), but La Chastre managed to escape to England where he raised the Régiment Loyal-Émigrant. Having commanded his troops with distinction throughout the Low Countries, Quiberon and Portugal, he returned to London in 1807.
