Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOMBELLES, MARC MARIE, MARQUIS DE (1744-1822) , French diplomatist and ecclesiastic, was the son of the comte de Bombelles, tutor and guardian of the duke of Orleans. He was born at Bitsch in
Lorraine
 , and served in the army through the Seven Years' War. In 1765 he entered the diplomatic service, and after several diplomatic
missions
  became
ambassador
  of France to Portugal in 1786, being charged to win over that country to the Family Compact; but the madness of the queenand then the death of the king prevented his success. He was transferred to Vienna early in 1789, but the Revolution cut short his diplomatic career, and he was deprived of his post in September 1790. He remained attached to Louis XVI., and was employed on
secret
 
missions
  to other sovereigns, to gain their aid for Louis. In 1792 he emigrated, and after Valmy lived in retirement in Switzerland. In 1804, after the death of his wife, he withdrew to the monastery of Brunn in
Austria
 , and became
bishop
  of Oberglogau in
Prussia
 . In 1815 he returned to France, and became
bishop
  of Amiens (1819). He died in Paris in 1822.
His son, Lours PHILIPPE, comte de Bombelles (1780-1843), born at Regensburg, passed his
life
  in the diplomatic service of
Austria
 . In 1814 he became Austrian
ambassador
  to Denmark, and in 1816 filled a similar position at Dresden. (E. Es.)
